Two executives from Binance, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, are currently detained in Nigeria without charges for at least 16 more days, amid allegations of market manipulation by the Nigerian regulator. Gambaryan, a former special agent known for tackling the worst cybercriminals, and Anjarwalla appeared in court, sparking international concern. Pro-crypto groups in Kenya and the U.S. have united to demand their release, declaring the detention illegal. This incident occurs as Nigeria faces challenges with cryptocurrency, including potential bans and privacy issues, in contrast to countries like El Salvador that are embracing Bitcoin.
