A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has ordered the remand of Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, widely known as Blord, over allegations of impersonation involving social media personality Martins Vincent Otse.
Blord was arraigned before the court on Tuesday, April 1, 2026, on multiple charges, including impersonation and forgery.
Following his appearance, the presiding judge ordered that he be remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre for 26 days pending further hearing in the case.
The charges against him stem from allegations that he falsely used the identity of VeryDarkMan in a series of promotional campaigns.

According to claims made by the activist, Blord allegedly forged travel documents bearing his name and announced publicly that he would be attending a product launch event in Onitsha.
He was also accused of falsely claiming that he had secured a N500 million endorsement deal with VeryDarkMan, presenting the activist as a brand ambassador for one of his digital platforms.
Additionally, billboards and promotional materials featuring VeryDarkMan’s image were reportedly displayed without his consent, suggesting a partnership that never existed.
Reacting to the development, VeryDarkMan took to social media to deny any involvement, insisting that all claims linking him to Blord’s business promotions were false and misleading. He maintained that he neither approved the use of his identity nor entered into any agreement with the entrepreneur.
A video circulating online captured the moment Blord was escorted from the court premises to the correctional facility, sparking widespread reactions across social media platforms.
The case has been adjourned, with further proceedings expected after the expiration of his remand period.
