The Kenya Police Service has arrested fleeing Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla.
This is as the International Criminal Police Organisation is moving to extradite him to Nigeria within the week.
Government sources privy to the information confirmed the development to newsmen on Sunday night.
One of the sources said, “Binance executive, Nadeem Anjarwalla, has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service, and he would be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.”
Another source noted, “As we had said before that Anjarwalla would be extradited, he has been arrested in Kenya, and he’ll be extradited to Nigeria this week.”
It was recalled that the Federal Government had traced Anjarwalla to Kenya, following his escape from lawful custody in Nigeria.
Following the development, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the International Criminal Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service have deepened talks to quicken Anjarwalla’s extradition.
It was earlier reported that Anjarwalla, whose cover has now been blown, went into hiding immediately after he landed in Kenya.
“We have found him. We know where he is; he is in Kenya, and we’re working with the authorities to bring him back to Nigeria.
“All hands are on the deck, the government and all the security agencies are working hard in conjunction with the Kenyan authorities and INTERPOL, to ensure his return to Nigeria to face the charges brought against him,” a source had earlier told the press.
