Ben Murray-Bruce Defends Ribadu, Challenges Binance Executive To Lie Detector Test

Nigerian businessman and politician Ben Murray-Bruce has strongly defended Mallam Nuhu Ribadu against allegations of bribery made by Tigran Gambaryan, a top executive at cryptocurrency firm Binance.

Gambaryan, who was detained in Nigeria for months, accused the National Security Adviser of attempting to personally profit from Nigeria’s dispute with Binance.

He claimed Ribadu hired a U.S. law firm to negotiate his release but failed due to “incompetence and greed.”

In response, Murray-Bruce dismissed the accusations as baseless, stating that Ribadu is incapable of such actions. He challenged Gambaryan to take a lie detector test in a neutral country to prove his claims.

“It is exhausting to see people dragging Nigeria’s name through the mud with fabricated accusations. If Ribadu had his way, Gambaryan would have remained behind bars for a hundred years,” Murray-Bruce declared.

He further insisted that Gambaryan should start preparing a public apology, emphasizing that reckless allegations against Nigerian officials must not go unchallenged.
