Popular social media influencer VeryDarkMan has agreed to an amicable resolution of the ongoing legal dispute with cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord.
The development follows the intervention of veteran human rights activist Omoyele Sowore.
Blord had earlier been remanded in Kuje prison for 26 days starting April 1, 2026, after a public social media dispute with VeryDarkMan.
Reacting to the situation at the time, Sowore criticised both VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshall Abubakar, accusing them of using their influence and legal expertise to secure Blord’s detention, while vowing to ensure his release.
In response, VeryDarkMan had pushed back, even threatening legal action against Sowore and questioning his style of activism.
However, about two weeks into his detention, a court granted Blord bail on self-recognition.
Speaking to journalists after the bail was granted, Marshall Abubakar—who also represents Sowore—revealed that VeryDarkMan has now agreed to settle the matter amicably.
While appreciating Sowore for his intervention, Marshall, who noted that Blord is now like a brother and friend to them, said, “We have now resolved to work together and to get this matter resolved amicably. On the next adjourned date, hopefully we would’ve resolved the matter and report back to the court on the progress made so far.
“No much to say, the long awaited bail of our brother and friend, Blord, has been perfected. We can call him brother or friend now. But we do not want to dwell on what has happened in the past. Talking about what happened in the court today, we must commend our leader here, Mr Omoyele Sowore, for the role he played.
“We must also appreciate VeryDarkMan for conceding to see that this matter is resolved amicably today. He has assured the world and assured even the prosecution that he’s giving to settling this matter. The fact can not be denied that VeryDarkMan was offended as far as this matter is concerned, and the way and manner that our friend now, Blord went about this issue was most unfortunate. You do not offend a man in Africa and tell the man to do his worst. And as a man who feel offended, VeryDarkMan has the right to approach the police and the court system to take up a fight that has a criminal element.
“This matter is a criminal prosecution. But we don’t want to dwell on what that has happened or transpired in the past. We’re now giving to resolving this matter amicably. Both Blord and VeryDarkMan are respected youth in this country today. The future of this country lies in the hands of youths with so much interest and so much to give”, Marshall disclosed.
