Popular social media influencer, VeryDarkMan, has agreed to settle his ongoing legal dispute with celebrity cryptocurrency entrepreneur, Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord.
The development comes after the intervention of veteran human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore.
It would be recalled that Blord was remanded in Kuje prison for 26 days on April 1, 2026, following a social media clash with VeryDarkMan.
Reacting earlier, Sowore criticised VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshall Abubakar, accusing them of using their influence to have Blord remanded, and vowed to secure his release.
VeryDarkMan had also fired back, even threatening Sowore while criticising his style of activism.
However, about two weeks after his remand, the court granted Blord bail on self-recognition.
Speaking to journalists after the bail, Marshall Abubakar, who also serves as Sowore’s lawyer, revealed that both parties have now agreed to resolve the matter peacefully.
He appreciated Sowore for stepping in and described the situation as one that should now move forward without focusing on past issues.
According to him:
“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.
