Tigran Gambaryan accused three Nigerian lawmakers—Peter Akpanke, Philip Agbese, and Ginger Obinna Onwusibe—of demanding a $150 million cryptocurrency bribe. Gambaryan, who was detained in Nigeria, claimed that the lawmakers staged a fake official meeting in January 2024, asking for the bribe in exchange for settling legal issues with the company. He also dismissed accusations by Nigeria’s Central Bank Governor about Binance facilitating illicit transactions, calling them fabricated. Despite the serious allegations, Gambaryan provided no documentary evidence to support his claims, which were denied by Nigerian officials as false.
