Fani-Kayode Accuses Binance’s Gambaryan of Using USAID Funds for Boko Haram

Former minister Femi Fani-Kayode alleges that Binance’s Tigran Gambaryan was involved in diverting USAID funds to finance Boko Haram. The claim sparks controversy amid ongoing investigations.

On Monday, former Aviation Minister Femi Fani-Kayode claimed that Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan is being used as a channel by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to finance Boko Haram.

Fani-Kayode characterized Gambaryan as someone who facilitates terrorism and undermines the economy.

He rejected Gambaryan’s claims that Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, was soliciting funds for his political aspirations.

Gambaryan also alleged that certain legislators requested a bribe of $150 million.

The lawmakers and the Nigerian government have since dismissed these allegations.

Nonetheless, Fani-Kayode warned that Gambaryan should brace himself for divine retribution.

Fani-Kayode shared in a post on X:

One Twitter user, @TigranGambaryan, an executive at Binance and a foreign national, has leveled serious allegations against @NuhuRibadu, @OfficialDSSNG, and certain legislators. Proceed with caution if you choose to take him seriously.

I can recognize a CIA operative, someone who enables terrorism, a financial bandit, a criminal, an exploitative person, a vampire-like figure, and an economic saboteur when I encounter one.

He is among those who allegedly used USAID funds to support Boko Haram. Prepare for divine retribution, Tigran.

“Justice will ultimately catch up with you for the atrocities committed in our country.”
