Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, commonly known as Blord, has been granted bail after spending weeks in Kuje prison for allegedly impersonating social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
The development was announced by activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore in a statement shared on his official Facebook page on Friday.
According to Sowore, Blord was given bail on his own recognizance after being arraigned before the Federal High Court judge in Abuja, with the judge setting conditions.
Bail has been granted to Linus Williams, popularly known as @mrblordofficial Blord, on self-recognizance. The court, however, ordered that he deposit his international passport as part of the bail conditions,” he wrote.
He had earlier been remanded in prison on April 1, pending further proceedings in the petition.
