The family of a Binance executive detained in Nigeria says his health is rapidly deteriorating

A representative of Binance's compliance director, Tigran Gambaryan, who remains in custody in Nigeria, said in an emailed statement that Tigran Gambaryan is being denied full access to his legal team and that his health is rapidly deteriorating. Gambaryan was taken in a wheelchair to a court in Abuja, Nigeria, for a hearing on July 16. The court then adjourned, with the next hearing scheduled for October 11. Gambaryan's legal team has not been allowed to visit him since July 26, and he is now bedridden, according to the email.
