Celebrity Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, also 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.

Activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore announced this in a brief statement on his official Facebook page on Friday.

According to him, Blord was released on his own recognisance following his arraignment in the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He, however, said the court ordered Blord to deposit his international passport as part of his bail conditions.

“Bail has been granted to Linus Williams, popularly known as @mrblordofficial BLORD, on self-recognisance.

“The court, however, ordered that he deposit his international passport as part of the bail conditions,” he wrote. (SUN)
