According to a statement issued by the White House, US President Biden called Nigerian President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday to thank President Tinubu for his leadership in securing the release of US citizen and Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan on humanitarian grounds last week. Biden said he particularly appreciated the cooperation in law enforcement, including through the recently announced Bilateral Liaison Group on Illegal Finance and Cryptocurrency, cooperation on new and innovative technologies, and common interests in reforming international organizations to reflect African voices. Earlier news, the Nigerian government has dropped all charges against Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan, who has been facing trial in a local detention center since April. In addition, the United States and Nigeria have established a special task force (Bilateral Liaison Group on Illegal Finance and Cryptocurrency) to integrate resources and combat crypto-related crimes.
