Tigran Gambaryan, the detained Binance executive, has officially departed Nigeria following his recent release on medical grounds. 

This brings the end to an eight-month ordeal, during which he faced allegations including money laundering and tax evasion.

Following a ruling from the Federal High Court, Gambaryan left Kuje prison late Wednesday night, allowing him to return to the United States for urgent medical care. 

The court’s decision, supported by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), brought to light the deterioration of Gambaryan’s health during his detention, prompting the need for specialised treatment.

In response to his release, the U.S. government expressed appreciation to Nigeria for facilitating Gambaryan’s return. Secretary of State Antony Blinken issued a statement, thanking the Nigerian government for its cooperation and emphasising the importance of U.S.-Nigeria relations.

Blinken stated, “The United States thanks the Government of Nigeria for releasing U.S. citizen Tigran Gambaryan on medical grounds, allowing him to return to the United States to receive the specialized medical care he requires.

“This positive outcome demonstrates the strength of the U.S.-Nigeria partnership and highlights our shared commitment to working together to advance our common interests.  Our close law enforcement cooperation remains a cornerstone of our bilateral relationship, and the United States is committed to working closely with the Government of Nigeria to address mutual concerns and prioritize the safety and well-being of our citizens.”

Gambaryan’s family are greatly relieved following his release, particularly his wife, Yuki Gambaryan, who stated, “It is a huge relief that this day has finally come. The past eight months have been a living nightmare.” She thanked the U.S. government and supporters for their support during this challenging time.
