Joined in the lawsuit are company officials Tigran Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla, who is reportedly on the run.

This Online News Media gathered that in the suit numbered FHC/ABJ/CR/115/2024, Binance faces accusations of failing to register with the FIRS and failing to pay relevant taxes.

The FIRS further claims that while providing taxable services on its trading platform, Binance neglected to issue invoices to subscribers for determining and paying Value Added Taxes (VAT).

The adjournment, which occurred on Thursday, was prompted by the FIRS’ difficulty in serving Gambaryan, who is in EFCC custody, with the charges.
