Court grants Nigerian crypto businessman Blord bail
Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, has been granted bail after spending weeks in Kuje prison. He was detained over an alleged impersonation of social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan. The development was announced by activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in a post on his official Facebook page on Friday. According to Sowore, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted Blord bail on self recognizance following his arraignment. The court, however, attached conditions to the bail. Sowore stated that the judge ordered Blord to deposit his international passport with the court as part of the bail terms. Blord had earlier been remanded in Kuje prison on April 1, pending further proceedings in the case.
