Nigeria denies bail to detained Binance executive... 'flight risk'

A Nigerian court has denied bail to detained Binance executive Tigran Ghanbarian.
According to local reports, on the 17th, a court rejected his bail application, citing his perceived flight risk if released.
Nigerian prosecutors strongly opposed bail, highlighting that he had recently attempted to obtain a new passport after his previous one was stolen.
He also has no ties to any community in Nigeria and is unlikely to flee like his colleague Nadeem Anjarwala, who escaped from detention on March 22.
The pair were arrested on February 26 upon their arrival in Nigeria. They are being held by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on suspicion of money laundering and terrorism financing.
Tigran Gambarian was subsequently indicted by the government on charges of detention that violated the country's constitutional guarantees of the right to individual liberty.
