The pursuit of Anjarwalla involves several key law enforcement agencies, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Interpol, and the Nigeria Police Force. Detailed discussions are underway to expedite the extradition process and ensure Anjarwalla faces the legal proceedings pending against him in Nigeria.
According to sources within the Presidency, Anjarwalla fled to Kenya and went into hiding upon his arrival. However, recent breakthroughs in the investigation have revealed his location, signaling progress in the case.
“We have found him. We know where he is. He is in Kenya, and we’re working with the authorities to bring him back to Nigeria,” stated a source close to the matter.
Efforts are underway to coordinate with Kenyan authorities and Interpol to ensure Anjarwalla’s extradition to Nigeria to face charges related to money laundering and tax evasion.
Meanwhile, the EFCC has detained Binance Holdings Limited and another senior executive, Tigran Gambaryan, on allegations of money laundering. Anjarwalla, who remains at large, will be arraigned in absentia alongside Binance and Gambaryan.
The extradition process has commenced, with the Nigerian government partnering with international agencies to bring Anjarwalla back to Nigeria. The case highlights the government’s determination to combat financial crimes and ensure accountability in the digital asset industry.

BETRAYAL OF TRUST: Man Given Free Shelter Allegedly Sells Benefactor’s House And Scams Cleric Of ₦13.6 Million.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arraigned Yusuf Oyepeju before the Oyo State High Court sitting in Ibadan. Oyepeju appeared alongside two corporate entities—Alwajeez International Nigeria Limited and AIN Homes and Property Limited—to face a six-count charge encompassing forgery, document uttering, theft by conversion, and obtaining money under false pretenses.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to a statement released in Ibadan on Wednesday by EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, the case stems from a relationship that began on an Islamic WhatsApp educational platform where both Oyepeju and the victim, Fasasi Bayonle, served as tutors. Bayonle, an Islamic cleric based in Dubai, eventually fell victim to a severe betrayal of trust.
From Benefactor to Alleged Victim
Investigations revealed that the saga began in 2018 when Oyepeju approached Bayonle seeking financial assistance for accommodation after getting married. Rather than a cash handout, Bayonle permitted Oyepeju to temporarily move into his vacant property located at the Ikumapayi area of Olodo, Ibadan, before relocating to the UAE.
Authorities stated that Oyepeju, posing as a property developer, subsequently convinced Bayonle to fund land purchases and housing construction projects in Ibadan, transferring a total of ₦8,697,900 between February and August 2020. However, the arrangement turned sour when Oyepeju allegedly forged a “Transfer of Agreement,” sold the very house he was given to live in for free to companies linked to him, and converted the proceeds. Investigators also discovered that he never purchased or developed the promised land.
Court Proceedings and Remand
Appearing before Justice Olusola Adetujoye, Oyepeju pleaded not guilty to all charges. Following his plea, prosecuting counsel Sanusi Galadanchi requested a trial date and asked that the defendant be remanded. Meanwhile, defense counsel B. Ajibola informed the court that a bail application had already been filed and served.
Justice Adetujoye adjourned the proceedings for the hearing of the bail application and ordered that Oyepeju be remanded at the Agodi Correctional Centre, Ibadan, pending the next court date.
