The Kenya Police Service has arrested Nadeem Anjarwalla, a Binance executive who fled Nigeria, with plans for his extradition to Nigeria by INTERPOL within the week.
Government sources, speaking anonymously due to unauthorized disclosure, confirmed this development to our correspondent Sunday night.
One source stated, “Binance executive Nadeem Anjarwalla has been arrested by the Kenya Police Service and will be extradited to Nigeria this week by INTERPOL.”
Another source added, “As previously announced, Anjarwalla will be extradited. He has been apprehended in Kenya and will be extradited to Nigeria this week.”
The PUNCH exclusively reported that the Nigerian government tracked Anjarwalla to Kenya after his escape from lawful custody.
Subsequently, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the International Criminal Police, the Nigeria Police Force, and the Kenyan Police Service intensified discussions to expedite Anjarwalla’s extradition.
A source revealed, “We know where he is; he is in Kenya, and we’re working with the authorities to bring him back to Nigeria.”
EFCC Chairman Ola Olukoyede confirmed in the March edition of the bulletin “EFCC Alert” that the commission, in collaboration with INTERPOL, the United States’ FBI, and the governments of the UK, Northern Ireland, and Kenya, is working on Anjarwalla’s extradition.
