Blord Thanks Supporters After Release From Kuje Prison

Nigerian entrepreneur Blord was released from Kuje prison on Monday evening after meeting his bail conditions, bringing an end to a high‑profile legal case that began with an online dispute involving social media activist VeryDarkMan. Video footage of his release quickly circulated on social media, showing Blord expressing gratitude to journalist and activist Omoyele Sowore and others who had supported his bid for freedom. “I’m out, I’m good, and I’m going home,” he said. “I want to say thank you to Sowore’s team. I want to say thank you to everybody that has been fighting for me.” He also acknowledged supporters who contributed time, money and effort to secure his release, adding, “May God bless you, and God will always stand for you.”

The entrepreneur’s detention stemmed from an online feud with VeryDarkMan, a controversial social‑media figure known for his outspoken commentary. The disagreement escalated into legal action, resulting in Blord’s remand in custody. The case has drawn significant public attention, highlighting the growing intersection of social‑media disputes and legal consequences in Nigeria. While the specific bail conditions have not been fully disclosed, Blord’s freedom marks a turning point in the matter. It remains unclear whether further legal proceedings will follow or if the dispute has been resolved.

For now, Blord has returned home, with supporters celebrating his release and the broader implications for freedom of expression and public advocacy in Nigeria’s digital space.
