Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Bayelsa East Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has accused Binance\u2019s Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigran Gambaryan, of lying against Nigeria\u2019s National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, and some senators by alleging that they demanded a bribe of $150 million.<\/p>\n

Murray-Bruce challenged Gambaryan to undergo a lie detector test over his $150 million bribery allegation.<\/p>\n

Gambaryan had accused the NSA of demanding a bribe to fund his political ambition.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Gambaryan also accused some members of the House of Representatives of demanding a $150 million bribe from him during a meeting in Abuja.<\/p>\n

However, the Nigerian government dismissed Gambaryan\u2019s allegations, describing them as defamatory.<\/p>\n

Murray-Bruce, in response, accused Gambaryan of lying.<\/p>\n

Posting on X, Murray-Bruce wrote: \u201cI have known Mallam Nuhu Ribadu my entire life, and I can say with absolute certainty that he is incapable of the allegations being levelled against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI challenge @TigranGambaryan to undergo a lie detector test if he genuinely believes the claims he has made.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is exhausting to witness individuals repeatedly dragging Nigeria\u2019s name through the mud with baseless accusations and fabricated evidence.<\/p>\n

\u201c@TigranGambaryan should consider himself fortunate to have been allowed to leave because if Nuhu had his way, I am supremely confident he would have ensured that he remained behind bars for a hundred years.<\/p>\n

\u201cI swear on my life\u2014Girma is lying, and I demand that @TigranGambaryan submit to a lie detector test in a neutral country, excluding both the United States and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurthermore, I hope @TigranGambaryan begins drafting the public apology he will inevitably have to issue once he fails that test.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndividuals like him must be decisively dealt with, ensuring that such reckless fabrications are not only exposed but also serve as a warning to other deceitful actors who seek to undermine Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n
