Federal High Court Dismisses Binance Executive Anjarwalla’s Rights Suit Due to Legal Team’s Absence

Federal High Court Dismisses Binance Executive Nadeem Anjarwalla Rights Suit Due to Legal Team’s Absence

The Federal High Court in Abuja has struck out the fundamental rights suit filed by Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive who recently fled lawful custody. 

The verdict of the suit, which was against the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), was delivered by Justice Inyang Ekwo after Anjarwalla’s legal team failed to appear during the proceedings. 

Nadeem Anjarwalla had previously sought the court’s intervention, alleging that his detention by Nigerian government officials was illegal and causing difficulty for him, his family, and other relatives.

Three months ago, Tonye Krukrubo, SAN, withdrew as Anjarwalla’s legal representative. The reason for this withdrawal remained undisclosed until the NSA confirmed that Anjarwalla had escaped the country while in detention. 

Krukrubo’s law firm, Messrs Aluko & Oyebode, formally withdrew their representation for Anjarwalla in a notice submitted to the court.

At the resumed proceedings on Wednesday, neither party had legal representation. Justice Ekwo noted that Krukrubo had previously sought leave to withdraw the case, allowing Anjarwalla to find new counsel. However, no such replacement occurred, leading the judge to strike out the fundamental rights case due to lack of diligent prosecution.

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) recently initiated criminal proceedings against Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange platform. Nadeem Anjarwalla and Tigran Gambaryan, both Binance executives, were named as second and third defendants in the suit. Notably, the NSA confirmed that Nadeem had fled the country.

Last week, the FIRS amended the charges, making Binance the sole defendant, as confirmed by a Nigerian representative from Binance.

Trial judge Emeka Nwite subsequently removed the Binance executives’ names from the FIRS matter, leaving them as co-defendants in a money laundering suit filed by the EFCC.
