Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, has been released on bail after spending weeks in Kuje prison over alleged impersonation of social media commentator Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore confirmed the development in a brief statement shared on his official Facebook page on Friday.
According to him, Blord was granted bail on self-recognizance following his arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
He added that the court, however, ordered the businessman to surrender his international passport as part of the bail conditions.
