Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The detained Binance Holdings Limited\u2019s executive, Tigran Gambaryan, was on Tuesday, whisked into Federal High Court in Abuja in a wheelchair.<\/p>\n

Gambaryan, who dressed in a black T-shirt with a blue jeans trousers, is facing a money laundering charge alongside the cryptocurrency firm.<\/p>\n

When the matter was called, Gambaryan stood up from the wheelchair and walked slowly into the dock.<\/p>\n

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)\u2019s lawyer, Ogechi Ujam, told the court that though the matter was scheduled for continuation of trial, the commission\u2019s lead counsel, Ekele Iheanacho, was not in court.<\/p>\n

Ujam prayed the court to stand down the matter to enable Iheanacho conduct the trial.<\/p>\n

Babatunde Fagbohunlu, SAN, who appeared for Binance (1st defendant) and Mark Mordi, SAN, who represented Gambaryan, did not oppose the application.<\/p>\n

Justice Emeka Nwite stepped down the matter until 12pm.<\/p>\n

Recall that Justice Nwite had, on July 5, ordered the management of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) to release the medical certificate of Gambaryan on or before July 16.<\/p>\n

The judge gave the order following an application by Gambaryan\u2019s lawyer, Mordi.<\/p>\n

Mordi had prayed the court to summon the medical doctor at the health facility of Kuje Correctional Centre, to explain why he had allegedly refused to make available his client\u2019s medical report despite earlier court order.<\/p>\n
