Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has said that Blord’s imprisonment, achieved through the legal expertise of VeryDarkMan’s team, should not be considered a victory.
Sowore made the remarks hours after a Federal High Court in Abuja remanded Blord in Kuje prison for 26 days.
Blord was remanded on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, on charges including impersonation of VeryDarkMan, forgery, false endorsement, breach of privacy, and identity theft.
Reacting to the development in a Facebook post, Sowore condemned how the case was handled.
Accusing VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, of oppressing Blord, Sowore emphasized that “victory” should stem from the strength of a case, not legal acumen.
He wrote: “I have read about the court-ordered detention of an individual known as B-Lord, and I must say this clearly that no one should celebrate the incarceration of any person under the color of law.
I have reached out to my astute rights lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, urging him to disengage from the process. We must all agree that sending B-Lord to prison is not a victory for legal brilliance or advocacy. Rather, it risks emboldening a system of oppression that weaponizes the law against citizens.
Justice must never be reduced to punishment for its own sake. I will work to ensure this case is discontinued and B-Lord is released without further delay.”
