Tigran Gambaryan, a senior official at Binance, has doubled down on his $150 million bribery allegation against three Nigerian lawmakers, insisting his claims are based on factual experiences. Gambaryan, who made the accusations on X (formerly Twitter), identified lawmakers Philip Agbese, Ginger Onwusibe, and Peter Akpanke as those who allegedly demanded the bribe to prevent his arrest over money laundering charges.
Despite denials from the lawmakers and the Federal Government, Gambaryan reiterated on Saturday that his account was truthful and shared with both Nigerian and U.S. law enforcement agencies.
“The responsibility of pursuing this matter rests with law enforcement in Nigeria and the United States,” he stated. Reflecting on his ordeal, Gambaryan recounted the personal toll the case has taken on his family, expressing a desire to move past the experience.
Gambaryan, a former U.S. Treasury Department Special Agent, credited the U.S. Government for supporting him during his legal battle, which he described as painful and unjust. He concluded his statement with a plea to leave the ordeal behind and find peace.
