Court remands Blord in prison for impersonating VeryDarkMan

Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Linus Williams Ifejirika, widely known as Blord, has been remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre over alleged impersonation of social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly called VeryDarkMan.

Blord was remanded following his arraignment before the Federal High Court of Nigeria in Abuja on Thursday, April 1, 2026.

He is facing multiple charges, including impersonation and forgery.

The court ordered that he be held in custody for 26 days pending further proceedings.

Reacting to the development, VeryDarkMan shared a video on his social media page showing Blord being escorted from the court premises to the correctional facility.

According to him, Blord allegedly forged flight tickets bearing his name and falsely claimed he had paid him ₦500 million to serve as a brand ambassador.

He further alleged that Blord used his image on billboards and promotional materials without his consent, claiming endorsement of certain business ventures.

The case has since attracted widespread attention on social media, with many Nigerians reacting to the allegations and the court’s decision to remand the entrepreneur.
