Binance Executive, Gambaryan hits back after the Nigerian government accused him of spreading falsehood following his claim that top Nigerian official asked him for $150m bribe

Tigran Gambaryan has hit back at claims by the Nigerian government that he is spreading deception after he put out an announcement blaming three Nigerian legislators for requesting a $150million pay off from him to fight off his capture and indictment.

Gambaryan, a previous US bureaucratic specialist and Binance representative had put out an announcement portraying his experience while being kept for by the Nigerian government.

The Nigerian government answered through the Pastor of Data, Mohammed Idris.

In an explanation on Friday, Feb. 14, Mr Idris said Mr Gambaryan’s “charges are unverified as well as need validity, given his evident thought process to dishonor and threaten the people who guaranteed he confronted equity.”

Mr Idris added that Gambaryan ought to be allowed an opportunity to demonstrate his cases in court.

Gambaryan has now hit back, accusing the Nigerian government of “foolishness”.

His response, shared via X, partly reads: “You 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?

“I’ll put my credibility on the line anytime. In court? You mean like last time, when your attorneys didn’t even show up to the human rights suit in Abuja?
