A federal high court in Abuja on Wednesday ordered the remand of Linus Williams Ifejirika, the cryptocurrency entrepreneur known as Blord, at the Kuje Correctional Centre.

Blord is charged with criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorised use of the identity of Martins Vincent Otse, the activist known as VeryDarkMan.
