The Federal Government of Nigeria has described recent bribery and “scapegoat” allegations by Tigran Gambaryan, an American executive of Binance, as “outrageous allegations, misinformation, and defamatory statements” lacking in credibility.
The rebuttal was disclosed in a statement by Mohammed Idris, Minister of Information and National Orientation, on February 14, 2025.
His reaction followed Gambaryan’s remarks about four Nigerian lawmakers who allegedly demanded a $150 million bribe from the cryptocurrency exchange platform.
