The Nigerian Government also said Gambaryan has full access
to consular services from his home government.
The Nigerian government said this in a statement issued by
Minister of Information and National Orientation Mr. Idris Mohammed on Friday.
The statement was issued in response to claims that
Gambaryan is being held in unsavory prison conditions in Nigeria and that his
health is deteriorating in detention.
Idris said in the statement that the allegations are false
and should be ignored.
“Gambaryan is being held in lawful detention and has access
to quality medical care whenever required. He also has full access to consular
services from his home government.
“The Federal Government will not do anything to jeopardize
his fundamental rights to lawful trial, and to quality care, including
healthcare, even as he undergoes trial by the laws of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
“It is worth reiterating that his detention is a
court-ordered one, and only the court can alter the terms or direct his
release.
“The Federal Government of Nigeria will continue to follow
due process in its quest to bring Binance to justice — a legitimate sovereign
quest that is similarly being pursued in several other countries around the
world.
“This adherence to legal and diplomatic standards
underscores Nigeria’s dedication to upholding justice and maintaining the
integrity of its judicial processes. The executive is being treated with the
utmost fairness, and his legal and human rights are being protected throughout
the judicial proceedings,” the Minister said in the statement.
