US politicians visit Binance executives detained in Nigeria, ask US embassy to lobby for their release

Odaily News Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett reported that pro-cryptocurrency U.S. Congressman French Hill and his colleague Chrissy Houlahan visited Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive detained in Nigeria. Gambaryan has been suffering from malaria and pneumonia during his detention for the past three months. Hill said Gambaryan was "wrongly detained by the Nigerian government." The two congressmen described the difficult conditions Gambaryan was in and asked the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria to lobby for Gambaryan's release on humanitarian grounds.
