The leadership of the committee took the matter to court, and Binance has already apologised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Agbese also clarified that he is not a member of the Committee on Economic and Financial Crimes. According to his account, he had only visited his colleague, Hon. Peter Ankpanke, during a meeting involving the committee and Binance representatives.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was during this visit to the office of Hon. Peter Ankpanke, with Hon. Peter Anekwe present, that I learned they were interfacing with the Binance team over a referral to their Committee,\u201d he explained. \u201cI never saw those visitors again after that chance meeting and did not attend any further meetings with Binance executives, the EFCC, or the DSS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker emphasized that any further questions regarding the issue should be directed to the committee, not to him. He also made it clear that he has no involvement with cryptocurrency, stating, \u201cI have never used any cryptocurrency, as I do not have a crypto wallet anywhere in the world, so I could not have asked for funds to be credited to a non-existent wallet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his statement, Agbese demanded that Gambaryan produce evidence linking him to the alleged bribery. \u201cGambaryan and his associate, who escaped from prison, should return to the EFCC and defend themselves. Instead of trying to implicate me, they should focus on addressing the allegations against them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Agbese warned that, should Gambaryan fail to provide evidence of his claims, he would be left with no choice but to pursue legal action.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI further demand that, failing to provide evidence, Tigran Gambaryan must retract his malicious claims and apologise to me within the next seven days or face legal action from my lawyers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker also referenced previous attempts to discredit him, describing the latest allegations as part of a broader campaign by foreign entities to undermine public officeholders perceived as nationalistic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Binance executive, Gambaryan had claimed that Agbese was among those who demanded a $150 million bribe Lawmaker demands retraction The Deputy Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon.
