"Every day it's nothing but frustration for our family. Six months is a long time for an innocent man to be detained and the fear of losing him is all consuming," a worried Gambaryan told Fortune from her family's home in Georgia.
"The arrests coincided with a serious depreciation in Nigeria's currency that the government has blamed on Binance, but which economists have said is due to mismanagement of the country's economy. In March, the BBC reported that Nigerian authorities were seeking a payment of $10 billion from Binance."
"Since then, Gambaryan has fallen gravely ill in prison following severe bouts of malaria. He is now immobile and unable to leave his cell, says his wife, and the Nigerian authorities have refused to provide him with a wheelchair."
"She and Binance say he has also been denied regular access to legal counsel. Yuki Gambaryan says the overall situation amounts to human rights violations."
