Nadeem Anjarwalla escaped prison and traveled to Kenya, and his colleague will press his rights claims in court next month.
The Nigerian High Court has dismissed a suit filed brought by Binance regional manager Nadeem Anjarwalla, according to local press reports. Anjarwalle alleged Nigerian government agencies had violated his fundamental rights when they detained him and seized his passport.
Judge Inyang Ekwo ruled on June 19 to dismiss Anjarwalla’s suit against the Office of the National Security Adviser (NSA) and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) due to “want of diligent prosecution.” No legal representatives for Anjarwalla or the respondents had appeared in the court.
Anjarwalla’s suit, filed on March 28, demanded that the actions of the agencies be declared illegal. Binance’s lawyer, Tonye Krukrubo, requested to withdraw from the case simultaneously with the filing.
