The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to embattled cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, following days of legal uncertainty surrounding his detention.
Human rights activist and former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore, confirmed the development on Friday, stating that the court approved bail on self-recognizance.
“Bail has been granted to Linus Williams, popularly known as @mrblordofficial BLORD, on self-recognizance. The court, however, ordered that he deposit his international passport as part of the bail conditions,” Sowore said.
Earlier, Sowore disclosed his presence at the court during the bail hearing, expressing cautious optimism over the outcome.
“Today at the Federal High Court in Abuja, I am present for the bail hearing of Linus Williams, widely known as BLORD. As proceedings unfold, we brace ourselves for the worst while still holding on to hope for the best outcome,” he wrote.
The bail ruling comes amid a storm of controversy involving the Nigeria Police Force, particularly officers attached to the National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC) in Abuja, who have been accused of misconduct and abuse of power in the handling of B-Lord’s detention.
Blord was remanded in Kuje prison following allegations of criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorized use of Martins Vincent Otse (VeryDarkMan’s) image for advertisements.
GISTSMATE MEDIA also recalled that rarlier in July 2024, he was arrested over allegations of cryptocurrency fraud, terrorism funding, and aiding internet fraud.
