A Former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has made serious allegations claiming that Tigran Gambaryan, a Binance executive, was involved in using funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to support Boko Haram, a terrorist group in Nigeria.
Fani-Kayode described Gambaryan as a “terrorism enabler” and an “economic saboteur,” accusing him of being part of a scheme that allegedly channelled USAID money to fund insurgency in Nigeria.
The former minister’s claims came after Gambaryan’s recent accusations against three Nigerian lawmakers of allegedly soliciting a $150 million bribe.
Fani-Kayode’s claims also draw attention to broader allegations of USAID funds being misused to support Boko Haram—claims also raised by US Congressman Scott Perry.
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.”
