Yuki Gambaryan, the wife of detained Binance Executive, Tigran Gambaryan appealed to the federal government on Monday to release her husband on humanitarian grounds before his health deteriorates further, News About Nigeria reports.
In a statement released by Gambaryan’s spokesperson, Monique Thompson, Yuki revealed the severe health issues her husband is suffering from.
Giving details on his health, Gambaryan’s wife revealed that her husband, among many other illnesses, is suffering from a herniated disc that requires “highly specialised and risky surgery,” which got worse after he collapsed in court on May 23, 2024.
Yuki further lamented the fact that her husband’s legal team has been denied access to him at the Kuje prison since July 26, noting that it is against both the Nigerian constitution and Section 45 of the Nigerian prison’s regulations, which state that “all prisoners, other than prisoners under sentence, shall be allowed all reasonable opportunities daily of communicating with their friends or legal adviser, and they may write and receive letters.
“My husband Tigran left our home for a work trip almost six months ago, and I have no idea when he will be back. Now his health is in a shockingly bad condition and getting worse by the day. The herniated disc in his back has worsened to the point where it might cause permanent damage and affect his ability to walk. My once fit and healthy husband, who loves working out, is now wheelchair-bound due to a treatable condition that has not been properly addressed.
“He needs highly specialised and risky surgery, it is terrifying. Additionally, an ENT doctor examined him last week and determined he also needs surgery to remove his tonsils due to the recurring infections he is suffering in detention. Life is becoming harder every day for all of us because of Tigran’s absence,” she lamented.
