Binance executives accused three Nigerian MPs Peter Akpanke, Philip Agbese and Ginger Obinna Onwusibe of demanding $150 million in bribe.
Nigeria News Nalin Tigran Gambaryan, a second Colombian province who has been detained in Nigeria for several months, claimed three Nigerian federal lawmakers demanded $150 million (as of February 14 as of February 14, 2014, according to reports , about 2.22 billion guilds).
The Nigerian news platform recalls that in January 2024, Gambaria and another graduation official, Nadim, were detained by the Nigerian government for allegations of money laundering, tax evasion and financial crimes encouraged in Nigeria.
Gambaria was released after the Nigerian government intervened under the charges against him after the U.S. government intervention and after his health worsened a few months later.
But in a lengthy post on Friday on his X (formerly Twitter) handle, Binance executives recounted his experience in Nigeria during detention and trial.
According to Gambaryan, several lawmakers held a meeting and asked him to give him a $150 million bribe that would be paid for his wallet in cryptocurrency.
He claimed that the members included Peter Akpanke, Philip Agbese and all members of the House of Representatives, Ginger, Obinna Onwusibe).
“DSS is involved in the House issue. We met in their office on Friday, January 5, 2024, which is a prerequisite for our meeting with the House. They mentioned the fact that we must comply with whatever the House members directed us to do.
“In the House meeting, there were three members present. Two of them were Peter Akpanke and Philip Agbese, both of whom were Ginger Auburnar Unusibe ( Working under Ginger Obinna Onwusibe. There is a third member, but I don’t remember his name.
“They set up fake cameras and media to make the meeting look formal but not even plugged in. Mickey Mouse operates the best.
“ @nuhuribadu invites us to the formal meeting and work through Sa’ad Abubakar. Another key figure in this case is Hamma Adama Belloji. Ogunjobi is just a pawn. They use him too.
“This was sold as a friendly meeting with the NSA, SEC chief and the CBN governor and included discussions on bribery solicited by the House.
“They have been publicly pushing the $26 billion figure because some of the mysterious funds that escape Nigeria are full of BS. The information is provided on their request and is just the accumulated trade data of Nigerians on the platform. The money has not left Nigeria. – Just people who buy and sell cryptocurrencies.
“For example, if you trade $100 $100 times, that’s $10,000 in volume, but in reality, you only use $100. Again, it’s just another example of their lying to cover up their BS investigation.
“They lied about Nadham’s escape in the prayer of the mosque. In fact, he returned and escaped. I don’t know how he managed to escape. He emailed me in November, but we didn’t discuss him The details of the escape. He may have paid off someone, but I have no proof.
“If Belloji had just checked his passport visa, he would have realized that Nadeem was not using that passport to Nigeria.
“They sent letters to the U.S. Embassy and the British High Commissioner, falsely claiming that we are volunteering to participate in strategic negotiations. This is a blatant lie.
“Nadem did not escape legal detention – we were illegally detained. Belogi even admitted that he would constitute evidence to obtain a court order to detain us for 14 days.
“Once the court order expires, they cannot extend it from the judge. At that time, they continue to hold us illegally and have no reason to do so.
“There is a lot of noise about using Interpol to capture Nadeem. As someone who is involved in multiple extradition cases, I can confidently say it’s a joke.
“Extradition is a long legal process in which there is no rational judge in Kenya or anywhere who approves extradition persons who escape illegal detention at the hands of rogue law enforcement, especially when the detention involves the detention of the employer who puts the employee in person to impose the responsibility. All noise.
“They tried to use us to violate international privacy laws, requiring all Nigerian user data to target opposition members allegedly ‘manipulate the price of Naira’. However, they all knew that Naira’s depreciation was Tinubu’s monetary policy The direct result of this makes Naira stand out from the dollar.
“I’m not saying that this policy decision is wrong, but everyone knows that eliminating government intervention can lead to extreme devaluation. Instead of acknowledging this, they use binance as a scapegoat,” Gambaria said.
