Pressure Grows in Congress to Treat Crypto Investigator Tigran Gambaryan, Jailed in Nigeria, as a Hostage

The report covers ongoing efforts by U.S. officials to secure the release of Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan from detention in Nigeria, with Rep. Rich McCormick pressing the State Department to classify his case as an urgent hostage situation. Despite one Nigerian agency dropping charges, Gambaryan remains in Kuje jail amid health concerns, brief hospital access, and continued calls from his family and Binance for his release; U.S. and Nigerian authorities did not immediately comment.
