Nigerian authorities have been engaged for several weeks in a standoff with Binance. Binance is the largest cryptocurrency exchange platform in the world.

It is accused of being responsible for the collapse of the country's currency. Two Binance employees have been in pre-trial detention in Nigeria for more than two weeks. They should have been decided on their fate on Wednesday March 13, but the Nigerien authorities asked the courts for an extension of their detention and the court will not decide until next week.
