In his speech, Blord expressed pride in his Igbo heritage, saying:
“We are very proud to be Ndi Igbo. What you people are seeing is not a small fight. It’s all about politics. Because I want to support my brother, they want to deal with me. But I still maintain my stand: I can never be bought.”
The businessman’s remarks, delivered with emotion and conviction, left many puzzled as he hinted at political undertones behind his arrest.
He thanked women and supporters for standing by him, while stressing that intimidation would not deter him from his principles.
Watch him speak below:
Blord’s release came after the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail on Friday, April 17, following his arraignment on charges bordering on criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and alleged unauthorised use of the image of social media activist VDM.
Despite securing bail, he did not immediately regain freedom. Instead, he was returned to Kuje prison.
The development added another twist to the unfolding case, as attention shifted from the charges to the conditions attached to his bail.
Online activist and Blord's archenemy, VDM, later explained that one of the bail conditions required Blord to submit his international passport before he could be released.
However, the document was reportedly not available in Abuja at the time. According to the explanation, the passport was in Enugu state, making it difficult to complete the process quickly.
Efforts by both legal teams to retrieve the passport reportedly proved unsuccessful on Friday, forcing the businessman to return to custody despite the court’s approval.
The delay extended his stay in prison for a few more days, even after the legal hurdle of bail had already been cleared.
