- VeryDarkMan had claimed that Blord was returned to Kuje prison after failing to meet bail conditions
- Blord had been granted bail but was unable to submit his international passport on time
- The businessman had been expected to remain in custody until the bail requirements were fulfilled
Social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has stated that cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, also known as Blord, was returned to custody shortly after being granted bail.
Blord had been released on bail on Friday after spending over two weeks at the Kuje Correctional Centre in connection with allegations of impersonating VeryDarkMan. However, according to the influencer, the businessman was unable to meet the conditions attached to his release.
In a video shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday, VeryDarkMan explained that Blord’s return to prison was due to his inability to fulfil one of the key bail requirements.
“I’m very happy that Blord was granted bail but unfortunately for him, he had to be taken back to the Kuje correctional centre until Monday because he could not perfect his bail condition,” he said.
He further disclosed that the court had required Blord to submit his international passport as part of the bail terms. However, logistical challenges reportedly prevented the document from being delivered in time.
“As you all know, one of the conditions that the judge gave was that Blord was going to tender his international passport. After all the efforts by my lawyer, his passport could not come from Anambra State on time, so he had to be taken back to Kuje prison,” he added.
The development adds another layer to the ongoing legal dispute between the two public figures, which has attracted widespread attention on social media and within legal circles.
Blord is expected to remain in custody until he is able to meet the court’s bail conditions, after which he may regain his temporary freedom pending further proceedings.
The case continues to generate public interest, as both parties navigate legal and personal tensions stemming from their highly publicised disagreement.
