He must be allowed to go home for medical treatment and to be with his family.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>&#8216;I'm a f*cking innocent person'<\/h2>\n<p>The viral video shows Gambaryan limping into an Abuja courtroom on Sept. 2. Despite his request for a wheelchair, the prison authorities denied his demands, leaving him to drag his left leg behind him.<\/p>\n<p>Notably, his attempts to use a correctional officer for support were also rebuffed, forcing him to rely on a single crutch. In response to these actions, Gambaryan lamented:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;[The prison guard] was told not to help me. He said there\u2019s instruction \u2013 this is f*cked up. Why couldn\u2019t I use a goddamn wheelchair? This is a show. I\u2019m a f*cking innocent person. Why are you doing this to me?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Observers noted that the video content aligns with concerns from Gambaryan's family, who have repeatedly stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/family-fears-for-detained-binance-execs-declining-health-in-nigeria\/\">his health has deteriorated<\/a> in Nigerian custody.<\/p>\n<p>On Sept. 2, Gambaryan's legal team <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/binance-exec-seeks-bail-in-nigeria-amid-deteriorating-health-issues\/\">filed a new bail application<\/a> on medical grounds. They urged the judge to release him so he could receive treatment for conditions he developed in prison, including malaria, pneumonia, tonsillitis, and a herniated disc that has left him in severe pain and nearly immobile.<\/p>\n<p>However, Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) opposed the bail request, claiming that Gambaryan was not in poor health.<\/p>\n<p>The judge has since ordered that Gambaryan be allowed to use a wheelchair, with the case set to continue on Sept. 4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance CEO Richard Teng has condemned the Nigerian government for its harsh treatment of Tigran Gambaryan\u2014the detained American executive of the exchange who the authorities have held since February.
