SHARE

A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered Binance Holdings Limited to provide the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission with detailed data on all Nigerian traders using its platform.

The court issued the order in an ex-parte motion filed by the EFCC, which sought information about Nigerians trading on Binance.

The suit, marked as FHC/ABJ/CS/259/2024 and dated February 29, was brought by the anti-graft agency pursuant to Sections 6(b), (h), (I), 7(1), (a)(2), and 38 of the Economic and Financial Crimes Establishment Act, 2004, as well as Section 15 of the Money Laundering (Prevention and Prohibition) Act, 2022 (as amended).

In an affidavit supporting the motion, Hamma Bello, an operative of the EFCC, stated that the commission’s Special Investigation Team, based in the Office of the National Security Adviser, received intelligence indicating money laundering and terrorism financing activities on Binance.

He said:

“The Special Investigation Team of the commission domiciled in the Office of the National Security Adviser received an intelligence stating the nefarious activities (money laundering and terrorism financing) on Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange platform.
