Arraignment of Binance, Officials, Delayed
The planned arraignment of Binance Holdings Limited, along with two of its officials, Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, before a Federal High Court in Abuja was delayed due to certain reasons.
Binance, Gambaryan, and Anjarwalla were to be arraigned on two separate charges filed by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS).
As for the charge filed by the EFCC, the arraignment was delayed because Gambaryan’s Lawyer, Mark Mordi, SAN, objected to the mode of service of the charge on Binance.
The court has adjourned till April 8, to rule on the objection raised by Mordi.
Regarding the charge filed by the FIRS, the arraignment was delayed because Gambaryan was served with the charge in the courtroom, which was too late.
He needed time to consult with his Lawyer, on how to plead to the charge. Therefore, the court adjourned the arraignment to April 19, to give Gambaryan appropriate time.
