US demands Nigeria to release Binance executive as health worsens

The US government is urging Nigeria to release a Binance employee who was arrested in February and has faced worsening health conditions in prison. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken raised the issue with his Nigerian counterpart in May, and US diplomats have since held private discussions with top Nigerian officials advocating for the employee's release. The detained employee, Mr. Gambaryan, has reportedly endured significant medical challenges while incarcerated, and his family claims he has not received adequate medical attention. Efforts to secure his release have escalated, but supporters are calling for more decisive action from the US. Binance CEO Richard Teng and US lawmakers have also demanded Mr. Gambaryan's release, citing critical health conditions and inadequate care.
