She noted that despite the court order from Justice Emeka Nwite issued on Thursday, May 23, Tigran Gabaryan had still not been moved to the hospital from Kuje Prison.
Yuki Gambaryan, the wife of detained Binance executive Tigran Gambaryan has pleaded with the Nigerian authorities to comply with the court order directing that her husband should be transferred to the hospital for medical care.
She noted that despite the court order from Justice Emeka Nwite issued on Thursday, May 23, Tigran Gabaryan had still not been moved to the hospital from Kuje Prison.
The order was made after the American slumped in court on May 23.
It was noted Gabaryan’s ailment had not yet been ascertained given that the “medical facilities at Kuje are inadequate”.
It is suspected that he has a severe throat infection and malaria.
In a statement on Tuesday, Mrs Gambaryan also called on the American government to intervene to ensure her husband’s release.
She said, “My husband’s physical and mental health is seriously deteriorating. I am devastated and shocked that, despite the court's clear directive for his admission to a hospital, the authorities have not allowed him to leave the very prison causing his illness.
“Tigran does not deserve such inhumane treatment. He has done nothing wrong and is suffering simply because he accepted an invitation to a meeting in Abuja. This has gone too far.
“I am begging everyone who can help, including our own American government, to recognize that an innocent man’s life is at risk. Please, at least let him go to the hospital so he can recover. But more importantly, let him come home to us.”
