Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has sent a strong message to social media critic Martins Vincent Ortse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, shortly after businessman Linus Williams, also called BLord, was granted bail from Kuje Prison in Abuja.
BLord had spent over two weeks in custody following his remand by the Federal High Court on allegations of impersonation linked to VeryDarkMan.

Sowore monitored court proceedings and confirmed that bail was secured through fresh applications by BLord’s legal team.
The ongoing tension between the activist and the Ratel President escalated heavily in recent weeks over the handling of Blord's case.
However, Sowore's latest message came as a direct response to VeryDarkMan's claims in a recent video where he accused the founder of Sahara Reporters of using activism as a mask for fundraising.
In that video, titled “Unmasking Omoyele Sowore”, VDM alleged that Sowore had never organised successful protests, had no real intention of becoming Nigeria’s president, and was only covering up with activism.
Reacting to those accusations in a video circulating online, Sowore acknowledged that public battles always leave consequences and admitted that his own actions had been laid bare before Nigerians.
He stated that he would now move forward with complete openness, promising to stop hiding behind any form of cover or mask
“There is no battle fought that doesn't have consequences, I appreciate that I've been unmasked, from now on, I will stop wearing masks.”

"Deep words from Sowore. Every battle indeed leaves scars—some visible, some not. Unmasking is growth if it leads to real consistency, not just another phase. Props for stepping in on BLORD's bail though. Actions like that speak louder than the drama. Let's see if this 'no more masks' era brings the same energy to the bigger fights we all care about. Peace to all sides✌️"
