Nigerian cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, aka Blord, was sent back to Kuje prison shortly after being granted bail on Friday.
Social commentator Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, made the revelation.
After serving at least two weeks at Kuje prison for allegedly impersonating VDM, Blord was given bail.
In a video he shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday, VDM discussed the situation and stated that the businessman was unable to meet the requirements of his release.
Blord would stay behind bars until he could provide the court-mandated international passport, according to VDM.
He said, “I’m very happy that BLord was granted bail but unfortunately for him, he had to be taken back to the Kuje correctional center until Monday because he could not perfect his bail condition.

“As you all know, one of the conditions that the judge gave was that Blord was going to tender his international passport, after all the efforts by my lawyer, his passport could not come from Anambra State on time so he had to be taken back to Kuje prison”.
The contentious dispute between VeryDarkMan and Blord started in October 2025.
After Blord posted what he said was a “iPhone XR converted to iPhone 17 Pro Max,” which sold for almost ₦450,000, the debate started. After VeryDarkMan accused Blord of deceiving Nigerians by selling reconditioned phones at exorbitant costs, the claim quickly gained widespread attention.
According to VeryDarkMan, the gadgets are made in Chinese firms that repackage and resell older iPhone models. He criticised Blord’s deceitful marketing strategies and advised Nigerians to exercise caution while purchasing devices from internet sellers.
The businessman responded by denying any wrongdoing and denouncing VeryDarkMan’s accusations as spiteful and unfounded. He maintained that his company is legal and charged VeryDarkMan with abusing his position to disparage prosperous individuals in an attempt to garner attention.
When privately recorded footage purportedly featuring VeryDarkMan appeared online, the dispute quickly transcended economic issues.
He was accused of offering ₦500,000 to obtain those clips, a claim he has not confirmed. VDM hit back, saying Blord was trying to divert public focus from his questionable business practices.
