Despite a court order from Justice Emeka Nwite issued on Thursday, May 23rd, Techeconomy gathered that embattled Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has still not been moved to hospital from Kuje prison.
The order was made after Tigran collapsed in court on 23rd May. It has not yet officially been ascertained what he is suffering from given that the medical facilities at Kuje are inadequate.
It is suspected that he has a severe throat infection and Malaria.
Again, Tigran’s wife, Yuki Gambaryan, has pleaded with the Nigerian authorities to comply with the court order so that Tigran may receive appropriate medical care.
“My husband’s physical and mental health is seriously deteriorating. I am devastated and shocked that, despite the court’s clear directive for his admission to a hospital, the authorities have not allowed him to leave the very prison causing his illness. Tigran does not deserve such inhumane treatment. He has done nothing wrong and is suffering simply because he accepted an invitation to a meeting in Abuja. This has gone too far. I am begging everyone who can help, including our own American government, to recognize that an innocent man’s life is at risk. Please, at least let him go to the hospital so he can recover. But more importantly, let him come home to us,” she said.
The Binance staff was detained after the Federal Government of Nigeria decided to scrutinize the activities of Binance, which officials said, contributed to the depreciation of the Nigerian currency, the naira.
