According to Catenaa, the Federal High Court in Abuja has postponed the trial of Binance's tax evasion case until April 30. Binance lawyer Chukwuka Ikwuazom questioned the validity of sending legal documents by email, arguing that Nigerian authorities should obtain formal approval before serving documents abroad. The Nigerian government accused Binance of operating illegally without registration, causing financial instability and loss of tax revenue, and demanded that it pay $81 billion in fines, including $2 billion in back taxes and $79 billion in damages.
