Celebrity Nigerian entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejika has spoken publicly after regaining his freedom from Kuje Correctional Centre, following his release on Monday evening after fulfilling his bail conditions.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, Blord expressed gratitude to those who supported him during his legal ordeal, including activist Omoyele Sowore and members of his legal and advocacy team.
He thanked individuals who contributed their time, money, and efforts toward securing his release, describing their support as deeply appreciated. Blord also offered prayers for his supporters, saying he believes they will also receive divine favour in return.
Announcing his return to freedom, he stated that he is in good condition and heading home, while reiterating appreciation to everyone who stood by him throughout the process.
His detention followed a reported online dispute involving social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, which escalated into legal proceedings that led to his remand at the correctional facility.
The case had drawn significant public attention on social media, sparking debates around online conduct, digital influence, and legal accountability in Nigeria’s online space.
Following his release, reactions have continued to trend online, with supporters and critics weighing in on the circumstances surrounding the dispute and his time in custody.
Blord’s statement marks his first public address since leaving detention, as he prepares to resume his personal and business activities.
