Gambaryan’s family has expressed concern about his well-being and appealed to the EFCC to release him and pursue its investigation into Binance instead.
Justice Emeka Nwite of the Federal High Court in Abuja issued a bench warrant for the arrest of Dr. Abraham Ehizojie, a medical doctor at the Kuje Correctional Centre.
According to local media, the warrant was issued after Ehizojie failed to produce a medical report for Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan or appear in court as previously ordered.
Justice Nwite had instructed the Nigerian Correctional Service to provide Gambaryan’s medical report, warning against noncompliance. At the recent court session, Gambaryan’s lawyer, Mark Mordi, revealed that the order had not been followed. A prison official confirmed delivering the court order to the doctor but noted his absence in court.
