According to a report by Eleanor Terrett, a journalist from Fox Business Channel, who supports cryptocurrencies, US Congressman French Hill and his colleague Chrissy Houlahan visited Tigran Gambaryan, a detained Binance executive in Nigeria. Gambaryan suffered from malaria and pneumonia during his three-month detention. Hill said that Gambaryan was "wrongfully detained by the Nigerian government." The two lawmakers described the difficult conditions Gambaryan was facing and urged the US Embassy in Nigeria to lobby for his release on humanitarian grounds.
