The International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL) for Africa hinted that all is now set for the extradition of Nadeem Anjarwalla, the fleeing executive of Binance Holdings Limited.
According to the INTERPOL, all paperwork has been completed.
It added that it is currently engaging with the Kenyan government by presenting the relevant treaties, Memorandum of Understanding and other documents to convince the Kenyan government to release and send Nadeem Anjarwalla back to Nigeria to face his trial.
Garba Umar, the vice-president of INTERPOL Africa, disclosed this on Tuesday while featuring on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily programme.
Anjarwalla, who was being held alongside his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan, for money laundering and tax evasion, fled the custody of the National Security Adviser on March 22 and escaped to Kenya.
The Federal Government said the activities of Binance, a cryptocurrency platform, were hurting the Nigerian currency, naira, leading to its free fall against the US dollar and other currencies.
The 38-year-old Briton-Kenyan was said to have escaped when security men guarding him led him to a nearby mosque for prayers in the spirit of the Ramadan fast.
He was, however, said to have been arrested last week in Kenya.
