Abuja, April 2, 2026 — Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as
**Mr Blord**, the founder of Blord Group and a well-known figure in Nigeria’s cryptocurrency and fintech space, was allegedly remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre following his arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja on April 1, 2026.
According to reports, the court ordered his remand for 26 days after he pleaded not guilty to multiple charges. The case reportedly stems from a petition involving allegations of impersonation, criminal conspiracy, and unauthorized use of identity. Specifically, it is alleged that Mr Blord forged flight tickets bearing the name of popular social media personality VeryDarkMan (Martins Otse), claimed to have paid him ₦500 million to serve as brand ambassador for his projects, and used his image on billboards and fliers without permission to promote ventures like the Billpoint app.
Mr Blord, who has built a public profile through real estate, fintech, and crypto-related businesses, has faced previous scrutiny, including an earlier arrest in 2024 over separate allegations. In the current matter, he is said to have been escorted to the facility amid the ongoing legal proceedings involving VeryDarkMan.
The development has sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many Nigerians following the feud between the two figures. Mr Blord is expected to remain in custody until the next court hearing later this month.
This article is based on publicly circulating reports and court updates as of April 2, 2026. All claims remain allegations until proven in a court of law.
