Nigeria’s tax agency is pursuing cryptocurrency company Binance for tax evasion,
local reports say.

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) on Monday reportedly filed tax evasion
charges against the company at the high court in the capital, Abuja. The charges
include failure to pay taxes, failure to file tax returns, and aiding users of its platform to
evade taxes. Binance is also accused of operating in the West African country without
registration.The crypto platform told Reuters news agency that it was working with
Nigerian authorities to resolve the issue.
The lawsuit names two Binance executives currently detained in Nigeria - Tigran
Gambaryan and Nadeem Anjarwalla - as defendants. They have been in detention since
late February, when they arrived to the country to discuss the suspension of the trading
platform with Nigerian authorities.
