I was surfing the internet today when I stumbled upon an online dailies with the captions "FG drops tax charges against Binance executives" It was very interesting to read because this case has long lingered and as such, anyone who is in the Crypto space in Nigeria would find it interesting to read for a follow up.
From what I could deduce from the news, the charges was dropped today the "14 of June 2024". After I saw this publication, I remembered a publication where the US government was called upon by her citizens to intervene on this matter and that was not too long and here we are hearing that the binance executives have their charges against them dropped. This makes me begin to wonder if the federal government really have idea what they are doing. I strongly believe that they were just detaining the binance officials to force out money from binance but the organisation knows their rights and refused to give into pressure from the Nigeria government.
From the news I read one of the captions which says "Further illustrating that Tigran is not a decision-maker at Binance and does not need to be held in order for Binance to resolve issues with the Nigerian government." This further buttress how ignorant the agencies and the Nigeria government are. This should have been the first thing they should have looked into and putting it into considerations before acting stupidly. With this, they have shown the world how ignorant our agencies and agents are to have held someone for this long without properly following due course all in the name of desperacy to extort cash from them as being exposed earlier by the binance top executive.
Could this action be as a result of a possible intervention from an international community or organisation?
