The CEO of Binance, Richard Teng, in a post on Tuesday, stated that the House Committee on Financial Crimes, chaired by Ginger Onwusibe (LP, Abia), demanded money from representatives of Binance during a meeting at the National Assembly Complex in January.

We would like to remind Binance that it will not clear its name in Nigeria by resorting to fictional claims and mudslinging media campaigns."

The Federal Government says the bribery allegation by Binance is a diversionary strategy to run away from their wrongdoings

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, made this known in a statement issued by his media aide, Rabiu Ibrahim, on Wednesday in Abuja.

According to the minister, the Federal Government is aware of attempts by Binance to launder its impaired image as an organisation that does not play by the rules and laws guiding business conduct in sovereign nations.

The Organisation made false allegations of bribery against unidentified Nigerian Government officials, who it claimed demanded 150 million dollars in cryptocurrency payments to resolve the ongoing criminal investigation against the company.

“This claim by Binance lacks any iota of substance. It is nothing but a diversionary tactic and an attempted act of blackmail by a company desperate to obfuscate the grievous criminal charges it is facing in Nigeria.

“While this lawful investigation wa[code][/code]s going on, an executive of Binance, who was in court-sanctioned protective custody, escaped from Nigeria, and he is now a fugitive from the law.

“Working with the security agencies in Nigeria, Interpol is currently executing an international arrest warrant on the said fugitive.

“The phantom bribe claim is part of an orchestrated international campaign by this company that is facing criminal prosecution in many countries including the United States, to undermine the Nigerian Government,” Mr Idris said.

The minister recalled that, a week back, the founder and former CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, was sentenced to prison in the United States after pleading guilty to similar charges to what Binance was being investigated for in Nigeria.

He added that Mr Zhao agreed to pay a fine of 50 million, while Binance is liable for 4.3 billion dollars in fines and forfeitures to the US Government.

“We would like to remind Binance that it will not clear its name in Nigeria by resorting to fictional claims and mudslinging media campaigns.

“The only way to resolve its issues will be by submitting itself to unobstructed investigation and judicial due process.

“The Federal Government will continue to act within its laws and international norms and will not succumb to any form of blackmail from any entity, local or foreign,” Mr Idris stressed. (NAN)

seunmsg, the house of representatives have since denied the allegations

https://punchng.com/reps-knock-binance-over-bribery-allegation/?amp

Labour party of crooks pretending to be holy.

There is no reason to doubt this. Labour party has been a cesspool of corruption since Peter Obi brought his baggage of filth and graft with him. He started by bribing Pat Utomi to step down for him. Julius Abure has been carrying the torch of corruption since then.

Totally shameful and disgraceful. The idiot needs to be recalled away from the NASS by his constituency. Meanwhile all of them in the NASS are not called legislooters for no reason.

How binance guy take know his party?

Whether they deny it or not is irrelevant here. It’s a news item that must be reported. If we are to follow the standard set by hateful Obidients, denying it simply means they are guilty. That is why this should go viral and be properly investigated. LP stinks from top to bottom.

This is unbelievable, coming from a party of saints that wants to salvage Nigeria

Chaiiiiii

But they said there is no record of binance meeting with reps. This should be investigated and if it’s true, the reps member should face the music. I am obidient, I don’t support rubbish! But if it’s propaganda as usual from APC…. Kiki… we shall see

Tinubu has bribed Binance to implicate them.
Bitter Obi party is a party of saints Mbanu I can’t believe this Apc with propaganda as usual waiting for chemical reactor Mr Bitters to drop quote

You are really a very mischevious human being.

So, the reason you created this thread is just an attempt to trash the LP.

Would you have created this thread if it involved an APC House of Representatives member?

So we should not talk about it because a crooked member of the sanctimonious LP is involved, right?

So your darling National Assembly shouldn't be trusted again

Elupeeee 77

Meanwhile Ashifo or whatever that clown is called is working against the interest of Lagos in the House of Representatives.

Thankfully, the petition carries zero weight.

When did LP, a Nigerian political party did claim that they are sanctimonious

seunmsg, I heard you are a federal civil servant. Sometimes I wonder and shiver at your level of primitive reasoning and bigotry

Bitter Obi people will protect their own criminal.

Good thing for LP faithful is that, they won't defend the person if he committed such as reported. If Abure was chided for his actions, who is a lawmaker to be defended.

We are not PDAPC that defends evil and criminality. If he did it, it's evil and condemnable.

Period!
