Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has stated that sending Blord to prison due to expertise of VeryDarkMan’s legal team is not victory.

 

 

Sowore stated this hours after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja remanded Blord in Kuje prison for 26 days.

 

UGAMATV reports that Blord was remanded on Wednesday, April 1 2026, for impersonating VeryDarkMan, forgery, false endorsement, breach of privacy, identity theft, among other charges.

 

 

However, reacting to the report, Sowore in a Facebook post, condemned the manner at which the case was handled.

 

While accusing VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar of oppressing Blord, Sowore said victory should come through the strength of the case and not by legal brilliance.

 

 

He wrote, “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.”
