Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has criticized the court-ordered detention of crypto entrepreneur Blord, stating that sending him to prison is "not a victory for legal brilliance or advocacy." Sowore urged VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshal Abubakar, to disengage from the process, warning that celebrating the incarceration risks "emboldening a system of oppression that weaponizes the law against citizens." Blord was remanded in Kuje prison for 26 days on charges including impersonation, forgery, and identity theft.
