Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive involved in a legal dispute with Nigeria’s government, was apprehended in Kenya intending to send him back to Nigeria for further proceedings.

Two men traveled to Nigeria to consult with officials about concerns surrounding Binance’s peer-to-peer platform and the local currency. Nigerian officials accused Binance of serving as an intermediary in the transfer of funds.

Months of legal turmoil ensued after the National Security Adviser’s Office arrested Nadeem Anjarwalla and his coworker.
