The Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to embattled cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, widely known as Blord, following days of uncertainty over his detention.
The development in the case of **Blord granted bail Abuja court** was confirmed by human rights activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore, who revealed that the court approved bail on self-recognizance, with the condition that Blord must surrender his international passport.
Sowore, who was present at the hearing, had earlier expressed cautious optimism about the outcome as proceedings unfolded at the Abuja court.
The bail decision in the matter of **Blord granted bail Abuja court** comes amid growing controversy involving the Nigeria Police Force, particularly officers attached to the National Cybercrime Centre in Abuja, who have been accused of misconduct and abuse of power in handling the case.
Reports indicate that some officers allegedly collaborated with social media activist Martins Vincent Otse to leak a detention video of Blord. The footage, reportedly recorded under questionable circumstances, showed the entrepreneur being forcefully awakened, an act sources described as staged to humiliate him.
According to insiders, the incident was part of a broader attempt to ridicule and intimidate the detained businessman. Allegations also suggest that certain officers, including an investigating officer identified as Inspector Sule, may have been involved in a coordinated effort tied to a personal dispute.
The situation reportedly shifted when the court declined to remand Blord at the cybercrime facility, instead ordering his transfer to the Kuje Correctional Centre, disrupting any alleged plans.
Eyewitnesses further claimed that VeryDarkMan followed the prison van transporting Blord to Kuje, livestreaming the journey and mocking him—an act critics say turned an official legal process into a public spectacle.
