Nadeem Anjarwalla, Binance Regional Manager for Africa who escaped from a Nigerian detention facility on March 22, has been arrested in Kenya.
The fugitive was reportedly arrested by the Kenyan Police Service while he was hiding in the East African country.
It was learnt that the international criminal police organisation (Interpol) is working towards extraditing Anjarwalla to Nigeria within the week.
Anjarwalla escaped from an Abuja guest house where the Federal Government was keeping him and his colleague, Tigran Gambaryan.
He was said to have escaped after guards led him to a nearby mosque for prayers in the spirit of the Ramadan fast. The Binance regional manager was said to have fled Nigeria with a Kenyan passport.
Sources familiar with the case have confirmed Anjarwalla’s arrest.
“Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he will be extradited to Nigeria this week by Interpol,” one source said.
