A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, following his arraignment over an alleged impersonation case.
Blord had been in custody for several weeks at Kuje Correctional Centre after authorities accused him of impersonating social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan.
Bail Granted With Conditions
The development was disclosed by activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in a statement shared on his official Facebook page.
According to Sowore, the court granted Blord bail on self-recognition, meaning no surety was required. However, the court imposed specific conditions, including the surrender of his international passport.
The condition is aimed at ensuring his availability for future court proceedings as the case continues.
Background of the Case
Blord was earlier remanded on April 1, 2026, after being brought before the court over allegations linked to impersonation.
While details of the charges are still unfolding, the case has attracted attention online due to the involvement of popular social media figure VeryDarkMan.
Legal Proceedings Ongoing
With bail now secured, Blord is expected to comply fully with the court’s conditions while the legal process continues.
Observers say the case highlights the growing intersection between social media influence and legal accountability in Nigeria’s digital space.
