A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, at the Kuje Correctional Centre over allegations of impersonation involving social media personality Martins Vincent Otse.
Blord was remanded on Thursday, April 1, 2026, following his arraignment before the court on multiple charges, including impersonation and forgery. The case has drawn widespread attention due to the high-profile individuals involved and the nature of the allegations.
According to information shared by VeryDarkMan on his Instagram page, Blord allegedly forged documents and made several false claims linking him to a business venture. He accused Blord of fabricating flight tickets bearing his name, suggesting he was scheduled to travel to Onitsha for the launch of a product associated with Blord.
VeryDarkMan further alleged that Blord falsely claimed to have paid him the sum of ₦500 million to serve as a brand ambassador. In addition, he stated that Blord publicly associated him with the promotion and approval of an application without his consent. The claims reportedly extended to the production of billboards and promotional materials featuring his image, presenting him as an official ambassador for the venture.
“All of these are false,” VeryDarkMan stated, rejecting any involvement in the alleged agreements or endorsements.
Following the court proceedings, Blord was escorted from the premises under security and transferred to the Kuje Correctional Centre, where he is expected to remain in custody for 26 days pending further legal processes. The remand means he will spend the Easter period in detention.
The charges against Blord, which include impersonation and forgery, are considered serious offences under Nigerian law and carry significant legal consequences if proven in court.
Legal observers note that the case highlights growing concerns around identity misuse and fraudulent endorsements in Nigeria’s digital and business space. As the matter proceeds, attention will remain on the court’s handling of the case and the evidence presented by both parties.
The Federal High Court is expected to continue hearing the case in the coming weeks.
