She wrote:
"Assuming the videos released by VeryDarkMan (VDM) are not an April Fool’s prank, and that Linus Williams (BLORD) has been remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for 26 days, the situation raises serious legal concerns."
"Legal Analysis of the Allegations."
"From a legal standpoint, VDM’s claims remain allegations, which means B-Lord is presumed innocent until proven guilty. However, if established, they point to multiple potential violations."
She further spoke about the alleged acts carried out by Blord against VeryDarkMan.
"A major issue is copyright infringement, which can attract both civil and criminal liability under the Copyright Act 2023."
"Using another person’s image, name, or likeness for commercial purposes without consent may amount to:"
"Copyright infringement."
"Passing off."
"Misrepresentation."
"Fraud (where there is intent to deceive)."
"The courts have affirmed that victims can seek remedies such as damages and injunctions, as seen in STRONG TECHNOLOGIES LTD v. AYIKA & ORS."
"Possible Criminal Implications."
"If it is proven that BLORD:"
"Forged documents (e.g., flight tickets)."
"Falsely claimed endorsement deals."
"Used VDM’s identity to promote an app."
She added that if the claims are proven to be true, certain steps can be taken by the court.
"Such conduct may amount to criminal offences, including fraud, impersonation, and obtaining by false pretence. Using a public figure’s identity to gain public trust for a product or service may also indicate fraudulent intent."
"Civil Liability."
"Beyond criminal prosecution, VDM may also institute a civil action for:"
"Damages for reputational harm."
"Unauthorized use of his image."
"Emotional distress."
"Injunction to restrain further use of his identity."

Barr. Wendy Cynthia Okosa wrote on Facebook what the court might do to Blord if found guilty.
She said:
"Given the level of influence involved, the damages could be substantial."
"Conclusion."
"If the allegations are proven, BLORD may face fines and possible imprisonment. While these are not capital offences, they are still serious under Nigerian law. However, it is important to remember: allegation is not guilt; only the court can determine that."
