Nigerian Doctor Detained Over Binance Executive Medical Records
Dr. Abraham Ehizojie, a medical professional responsible for treating detained Binance Nigeria executive Tigran Gambaryan, has been issued an arrest warrant after he failed to hand over the prisoner’s medical records.

However, Gambaryan’s family has claimed that despite court orders, the crypto exchange executive has been denied appropriate medical treatment while detained at Kuje prison.
