Binance Executive, Tigran Gambayran, has insisted that his allegations against the Nigerian authorities were “factual” and called on the U.S. government to bring to a “logical conclusion” the saga between his company and the Federal Government......CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE>>>>>
Gambaryan, on Friday, accused the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, and some members of the House of Representatives, Philip Agbese, Ginger Onwusibe and Peter Akpanke, of demanding the sum of $150m as bribe in their case.
In a swift response, the Nigerian government dismissed the claims and urged the general public to disregard them.
However, Gambaryan, in an X post on Saturday, stood by his comments, saying he made the revelations from his personal experience with the Nigerian government.
While sharing how his prolonged detention affected his family, Gambaryan thanked the US Government for stepping in to aid his release and said he expects them to investigate the issue to ensure it is resolved conclusively.
He said, “What I shared was factual, based on my personal experiences and conversations with those who have direct knowledge of the events I discussed. Information that was shared with both Nigerian and U.S law enforcement. So please, allow me to leave this behind and find peace.
“The reality is that last year was incredibly painful for me and my family. I dedicated my life to fighting crime as a Special Agent with the United States Department of the Treasury and as a compliance profession.
“It was an honor to serve my country and it was a blessing that they came to my rescue and mobilized the full force of the U.S. government when I was in need. Being dragged through court on outrageous, baseless, and trumped-up charges didn’t just hurt me—it also brought immense pain to my family.
“I don’t want to see my kids cry because I’m not around. I don’t want to see videos of my 75-year-old mother on television in tears. I don’t want to see my wife crying on TV. I want to put this nightmare behind me and move on.
“I am no longer in law enforcement. The responsibility of seeing this through to a logical conclusion now falls on those still serving in United States and Nigeria,” he stated.
