Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive who recently slipped away from Nigerian custody, has been found in Kenya and may soon be sent back to face the music.

Nigerian authorities have located Anjarwalla in Kenya and are collaborating with Kenyan officials to repatriate the executive, as reported by Nigeria’s Daily Post last week, citing government sources.

The Punch, a Nigerian newspaper, reported on Monday, citing unnamed government sources, that Anjarwalla might be extradited to Nigeria within the week through INTERPOL.

Anjarwalla, a British-Kenyan citizen, was detained with another Binance executive, Tigran Gambaryan, on charges ranging from currency manipulation to money laundering. He escaped in March, reportedly using a secret Kenyan passport.

Gambaryan is still in Nigeria and has pleaded not guilty to money laundering charges, so Binance negotiated to release him on tax evasion charges.
