Nigerian prison doctor detained over Binance executive's health issues

ChainCatcher news, Abuja Federal High Court Judge Emeka Nwite issued a warrant for the arrest of the doctor at Kuje Correctional Facility, Dr. Abraham Ehizojie. The warrant was issued because Ehizojie failed to provide a medical report for Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan or failed to appear in court as previously ordered.

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) lawyer Ekene Iheanacho expressed surprise at the absence of the medical personnel. Mordi requested the court to issue a warrant for the doctor’s arrest and to send Gambaryan to the hospital for immediate medical diagnosis, citing that his client was suffering from severe back pain and his health condition was deteriorating.
