His wife, Yuki, has expressed urgent concerns about his deteriorating health, stating he requires two surgeries for a herniated disc and tonsillitis.

Reports indicate that Gambaryan's health has significantly worsened; he was brought to court in a wheelchair and is now mostly bedridden.

Despite a court order, the prison is withholding Gambaryan's medical records, further complicating his situation.

Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive and former IRS agent, has been detained in Nigeria since February 26, 2024, after voluntarily traveling there.

Since his detention, Gambaryan's American passport has been confiscated, and he has been denied adequate access to his legal team, raising concerns from his family.

Prison medical officials have placed him on blood thinners to prevent clotting issues, complicating his planned surgical procedures.

Yuki Gambaryan has appealed to the Nigerian government for either her husband's release or access to urgent medical care to prevent permanent damage to his mobility.

U.S. lawmakers have expressed concern over Gambaryan's health care in prison and have urged for his release, with some framing the situation as a hostage crisis.

Gambaryan has been held in Kuje prison since July 26, 2024, where his legal team has been barred from visiting him.

A final verdict on the case against Gambaryan is scheduled for October 11, 2024, following a delay due to the court's summer recess.

The legal troubles for Binance in Nigeria began two years ago when the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission issued regulations for crypto exchanges.
