Atiku’s Aide Criticizes Tinubu Government Over Escape Of Detained Binance Executive From Custody In Abuja

Phrank Shaibu, the Special Assistant to former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, has lambasted President Bola Tinubu’s administration following reports of the escape of one of the detained Binance executives.

Shaibu accused President Tinubu’s government of turning Nigeria’s detention centers into venues for amateur magic shows, where detainees seemingly vanish at will.

Earlier reports revealed that one of the executives of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, who were arrested in Nigeria, had managed to escape from custody in Abuja.

Sources familiar with the incident disclosed this to Timeless Update, identifying the fugitive as Nadeem Anjarwalla.

Reportedly, the 38-year-old Mr. Anjarwalla fled from the Abuja guesthouse where he and his colleague were detained on Friday, March 22, while guards escorted him to a nearby mosque for prayers during the ongoing Ramadan fast.

Insiders suggest that Anjarwalla, who also holds Kenyan citizenship, may have departed Abuja on a Middle East-bound airliner.

However, it remains a mystery how Mr. Anjarwalla managed to board an international flight despite Nigerian authorities retaining his British passport, with which he entered Nigeria.

In response to the incident, Shaibu took to his social media platform to describe Anjarwalla’s escape as another captivating episode of what he dubbed “Nigeria’s Got Escapes.” He questioned the need for security in the country when the government seemingly provides an escape room experience for detained executives.

Shaibu wrote, “Another captivating episode of ‘Nigeria’s Got Escapes,’ brought to you by the @officialABAT administration! A detained Binance executive pulls off a disappearing act right under their noses?

“Bravo, @officialABAT, for transforming our detention centers into amateur magician training grounds! Who needs security when you can provide a thrilling escape room experience for all detained executives?”
