A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to crypto entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, also known as Blord, after several days in detention.

The court allowed him to go home without a surety but ordered him to submit his international passport as part of the bail conditions.

The development was confirmed by activist Omoyele Sowore, who attended the court session.

Blord’s case had earlier gained attention due to claims about how he was treated while in custody. Some reports allege that officers of the Nigeria Police Force mishandled the situation.

There are also allegations that a video recorded during his detention was leaked online, raising concerns about privacy and abuse of power. However, these claims have not been officially confirmed by authorities.

With bail now granted, the focus is expected to shift to the ongoing case and the concerns raised about the conduct of security operatives.
