Embattled businessman Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, has hinted at when he might leave the Kuje Correctional Centre, revealing he is not in a hurry to regain his freedom.

The crypto entrepreneur, who has been in custody since April 1 following a Federal High Court order, reportedly made the disclosure during a visit by activist Omoyele Sowore on Wednesday, April 8.

According to Sowore, Blord said he was using the period behind bars as a rare opportunity to rest, insisting he had been extremely busy before his detention.

Sharing details of their conversation, Sowore disclosed that the businessman appeared calm and unbothered about his continued stay in custody.

He quoted Blord as saying he was not begging anyone for release and had no intention of rushing the legal process.

“BLORD says he’s using this opportunity to rest cos he hasn’t rested in a while and he’s also not begging anybody cos he’s not in a hurry to get out of prison and he’s ready to go all the way,” Sowore reportedly stated.

The comment has drawn attention online, especially as many supporters had been calling for reconciliation between him and social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.

Blord was remanded in Kuje prison after being arraigned on allegations including criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorised use of identity.

The charges stem from an ongoing dispute with VeryDarkMan, which has gradually evolved into one of the most talked-about online feuds in recent weeks.
