Nigerian authorities are investigating how the detained executives fled despite not holding any travel documents.
A Binance executive detained in the tax evasion case by the Nigerian authorities has reportedly escaped detention using a fake passport, reported a local daily citing sources familiar with the matter.
The Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, and his colleagues were detained in an Abuja guest house. However, it was reported the executive reportedly fled detention on Friday after he was taken to a nearby mosque for Friday Ramadan prayers.
Anjarwalla reportedly flew out of Abuja on a Middle East airline. However, it is unclear how Anjarwalla got on an international flight despite his British passport, with which he entered Nigeria, remaining in the custody of the Nigerian authorities.
