(Reuters) - Binance is working with Nigerian authorities to bring back the senior executives detained last month on undisclosed charges as part of a country-wide crackdown, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange posted on X.

"We will continue to work with Nigerian authorities to bring our friends and colleagues home. They are professionals with the highest integrity and we will provide them and their families all the support we can," it said.
