Binance’s Gambaryan leaves Nigeria after spending eight months in ‘unlawful’ detention.

After eight months in detention, Binance Holdings Limited’s executive, Tigran Gambaryan, has left Nigeria to reunite with his family in the U.S.

His wife, Yuki Gambaryan, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, a day after Mr Gambaryan left Kuje prison following the withdrawal of charges against him by the Nigerian government.

“Today, American citizen Tigran Gambaryan left Nigeria to return home to his family after eight months of unlawful detention,” said Mrs Gambaryan.

“It is a huge relief that this day has finally come. The past eight months have been a living nightmare. I wish it hadn’t taken this long for his release or that his health had not declined so much, but we can now focus on healing as a family,” Mrs Gambaryan added.

Mrs Gambaryan thanked the U.S. government and everyone who spoke up for the release of her husband while he was in detention.
