Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode on Monday characterized Binance CEO Tigran Gambaryan as a conduit utilized by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to support Boko Haram.

Fani-Kayode labelled Gambaryan as a terrorist facilitator and economic sabotage.

He denied Gambaryan’s assertions that Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, was asking for funding for his political ambitions.

Gambaryan also accused several lawmakers of seeking a $150 million bribe.

These charges have subsequently been denied by parliamentarians and the Nigerian government.

However, Fani-Kayode stated that Gambaryan should brace himself for divine punishment.

Posting on X, Fani-Kayode wrote: “One @TigranGambaryan, a foreign national and an executive of @binance, has made grave allegations against @NuhuRibadu, @OfficialDSSNG & some legislators. Take him seriously at your own peril.

“I know a CIA operative, a terrorism enabler, a fiscal bandit, a criminal, a leech, a vampire, and an economic saboteur when I see one.

“He is one of those who used @USAID money to fund Boko Haram. Prepare for divine retribution, Tigran.

The long arm of justice will eventually get you for the atrocities you committed in our country.”
