Bashir Ahmad, a former presidential aide, has broken his silence regarding the escape of Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive, from the custody of the Nigerian government. Anjarwalla, along with Tigran Gambaryan, was detained upon arrival in Nigeria on allegations of tax evasion and other charges.
According to reports, Anjarwalla managed to flee from a guest house in Abuja where he and his colleague were being held. The escape occurred when guards allowed him to visit a nearby mosque for Ramadan prayers. Anjarwalla, a dual British-Kenyan citizen, is reported to have left Abuja aboard a Middle Eastern airline, despite Nigerian authorities holding his British passport.
The incident has raised questions about oversight and privileges granted to the detainees, including phone access, which may have facilitated the escape plan. The spokesman of the National Security Adviser’s office, Zakari Mijinyawa, acknowledged the incident but has yet to provide further details. Efforts are underway to determine Anjarwalla’s destination and facilitate his return to custody.
In response to the development, Bashir Ahmad suggested that certain elements are unhappy with the Federal Government’s efforts to sanitize the foreign exchange market. He alleged that these elements are attempting to sabotage the government from within.
Ahmad's comments highlight concerns about potential internal challenges facing the government's efforts to regulate the foreign exchange market. The escape of Anjarwalla underscores the complexity of the situation and the need for comprehensive measures to address issues of tax evasion and financial regulation.
He wrote: “There must be some elements that are not happy with the government’s efforts, and now they are trying to sabotage it from within.”
