Binance’s top executive, Mr. Tigran Gambaryan, reaffirmed on Saturday that his $150 million bribery allegation against three Nigerian lawmakers is accurate.
Gambaryan, who previously took to X (formerly Twitter) on Friday to name Reps Philip Agbese, Ginger Onwusibe, and Peter Akpanke as the lawmakers who allegedly demanded the bribe to prevent his arrest over money laundering charges, stated that his post was a truthful account of events in Nigeria.
Despite denials from the lawmakers and the Federal Government, Gambaryan reiterated the validity of his claim on Saturday, explaining that the information shared was based on his personal experiences and conversations with those familiar with the situation. He added that this information had been shared with both Nigerian and U.S. law enforcement authorities.
“I’ve shared what is factual, based on my experiences and direct knowledge from those involved. This information was also shared with law enforcement agencies in Nigeria and the U.S.,” Gambaryan wrote. “Please, let me move on and find peace.”
He emphasized that it is now the responsibility of law enforcement in both countries to investigate the matter, stating, “I am no longer in law enforcement. The duty now lies with those still serving in the U.S. and Nigeria.”
Gambaryan went on to reflect on the emotional toll the situation had taken on him and his family, mentioning the pain caused by the false charges, his struggles in court, and the distress it caused his loved ones. He expressed a desire to put the ordeal behind him and move forward.
