A Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered the remand of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, at the Kuje Correctional Centre.

The court directed that Blord remain in custody until 27 April 2026, meaning he will spend the Easter period behind bars.
The case was triggered by allegations from VeryDarkMan, who accused Blord of using his image without consent for promotional purposes.
In a video shared by VeryDarkMan on his Instagram page, he explained that Blord forged flight tickets in his name, claimed he had been paid five hundred million naira to serve as a brand ambassador, and printed billboards and fliers with his face to promote apps and products without permission.
