Tigran Gambaryan, the Binance executive and a former US federal agent,\u00a0\u00a0who was detained in Nigeria and later freed, has descended hard on the Federal Government, describing it as \u2018evil\u2019.<\/p>\n
This is coming on the heels of the latter\u2019s denial that some lawmakers at the National Assembly demanded a bribe of $150million from him to help settle his case during his ordeal in Nigeria.<\/p>\n
Recall that Gambaryan was tried in Nigeria for\u00a0financial crimes but later released, following high-level intervention from.the American government.<\/p>\n
He recently claimed that during his detention three Nigerian lawmakers demanded a $150million bribe from him to stop his arrest and prosecution.<\/p>\n
In response to the allegation,\u00a0 the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Muhammed Idris,\u00a0on behalf of the Federal Government, lampooned Gambaryan and described his claim as \u2018misinformation and defamatory.\u2019<\/p>\n
The government denied that officials demanded bribes from Gambaryan\u00a0and enjoined Nigerians to disregard the allegations.<\/p>\n
Angered by Iris’s statement, which accused him of\u00a0 spreading falsehood, Gambaryan hit back in a statement he released about his ordeal while in detention.<\/p>\n
He described the government\u2019s denial as \u2018foolishness\u2019 in his response on his X page.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou dragged my name through the mud for the past year with zero evidence against me, nearly killed me, and caused trauma to my family and now you have the nerve to talk about defamation?” he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll put my credibility on the line anytime. In court? You mean like last time, when your attorneys didn\u2019t even show up to the human rights suit in Abuja?<\/p>\n
\u201cGet your facts straight. I am done with this foolishness. I said my part. I\u2019ll be off twitter now since it\u2019s pointless to argue with evil,\u2019 he wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
