  • The executives were detained upon arrival in Nigeria in February, following an invitation to discuss Binance's operations.
  • Anjarwalla escaped custody last week, while both seek the return of their passports and a public apology.
  • Nigeria has charged Binance and the executives with tax evasion, demanding information on the exchange's top 100 users in the country.
  • A hearing scheduled for April 8 was adjourned without representation from the accused agencies.
