Former Bayelsa East Senator, Ben Murray-Bruce, has accused Binance's Head of Financial Crime Compliance, Tigran Gambaryan, of lying against Nigeria's National Security Adviser, NSA, Nuhu Ribadu, and some senators by alleging that they demanded a bribe of $150 million.
Murray-Bruce challenged Gambaryan to undergo a lie detector test over his $150 million bribery allegation.
Gambaryan had accused the NSA of demanding a bribe to fund his political ambition.
Posting on X, Gambaryan also accused some members of the House of Representatives of demanding a $150 million bribe from him during a meeting in Abuja.
However, the Nigerian government dismissed Gambaryan's allegations, describing them as defamatory.
Murray-Bruce, in response, accused Gambaryan of lying.
Posting on X, Murray-Bruce wrote: "I have known Mallam Nuhu Ribadu my entire life, and I can say with absolute certainty that he is incapable of the allegations being levelled against him.
"I challenge @TigranGambaryan to undergo a lie detector test if he genuinely believes the claims he has made.
"It is exhausting to witness individuals repeatedly dragging Nigeria's name through the mud with baseless accusations and fabricated evidence.
"@TigranGambaryan should consider himself fortunate to have been allowed to leave because if Nuhu had his way, I am supremely confident he would have ensured that he remained behind bars for a hundred years.
"I swear on my life-Girma is lying, and I demand that @TigranGambaryan submit to a lie detector test in a neutral country, excluding both the United States and Nigeria.
"Furthermore, I hope @TigranGambaryan begins drafting the public apology he will inevitably have to issue once he fails that test.
"Individuals like him must be decisively dealt with, ensuring that such reckless fabrications are not only exposed but also serve as a warning to other deceitful actors who seek to undermine Nigeria."
