The International Criminal Police Organization, INTERPOL has stated its commitment to locating and extraditing Nadeem Anjarwalla, the absconding chief of Binance, to Nigeria to face tax evasion charges brought against him by the Federal Government.
Anjarwalla managed to escape from custody after being detained along with his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, who remains in the custody of Nigerian authorities.
Garba Umar, Vice President of INTERPOL’s Africa Executive Committee, discussed plans for the extradition of the Binance executive during an appearance on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily program on Tuesday. Umar emphasized that the necessary paperwork for Anjarwalla’s return to Nigeria has been initiated, highlighting the established procedures that a country must follow if a fugitive manages to escape.
“INTERPOL will only give information, assist them and inform them about the bilateral agreements and conventions that were signed to extradite a fleeing fugitive and the process is ongoing and Nadeem is not an exception.
“Be rested assured, we have all the cooperation and we are working on it and definitely, one day, he will be brought to justice, it’s just a matter of time.
“We have done all the paper work,” Umar stated.
