TechFlow news — On September 4, according to Bloomberg, a court in Abuja, Nigeria's capital, postponed its ruling on the bail application for Tigran Gambaryan, Binance’s head of financial crimes compliance. Gambaryan has been detained in Nigeria for over six months, drawing attention from U.S. lawmakers who claim he is being unjustly held.
The court heard several hours of arguments that day, with the presiding judge saying a decision would come later, without specifying when. Gambaryan’s lawyer, Mark Mordi, told the court that his client has required surgery since July 18 and urgently needs medical care that Nigeria’s criminal justice system cannot provide. However, state prosecutor Ekele Iheanacho argued that Gambaryan has already received adequate treatment at a prison hospital and at a facility reserved for senior government officials.
