Tigran Gambaryan has hit back at claims by the Nigerian government that he is spreading falsehood after he released a statement accusing three Nigerian lawmakers of demanding a $150 million bribe from him to stave off his arrest and prosecution.
Gambaryan, a former US federal agent and Binance employee had released a statement narrating his ordeal while being detained by the Nigerian government (read here).
The Nigerian government responded through the Minister of Information, Mohammed Idris.
In a statement on Friday, Feb. 14, Mr Idris said Mr Gambaryan’s "allegations are not only unsubstantiated but also lack credibility, given his apparent motive to discredit and intimidate those who ensured he faced justice."
Mr Idris added that Gambaryan should be given a chance to prove his claims in court.
Gambaryan has now hit back, blaming the Nigerian government for "stupidity.".
His reaction, shared by means of X, mostly peruses: "You hauled my name through the mud for as long as year with no proof against me, almost killed me, and made injury my loved ones. Also, presently you have the nerve to discuss criticism?
"I'll risk my validity whenever. In court? You mean like last time when your lawyers didn't actually make an appearance to the basic liberties suit in Abuja?
"Get your realities straight. I'm finished with this stupidity. I said my part. I'll be off Twitter now since there's no point in contending with evil."
