Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, has described himself as part of the “Revolution Team” following his release from detention at Kuje Prison, Abuja.
His declaration came in a video shared by human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore on Tuesday, in which Blord spoke about his detention, bail proceedings and his appreciation for those who supported him during the process.
In the video, Blord said he had no prior personal contact with Sowore but credited him for intervening in his case, stating, “As a matter of fact, I have never met Omoyele Sowore in my life. I have never communicated, I have never called him on the phone, but when he heard that I was being intimidated, he had to step in.”
He added that his bail hearing had initially been fixed for April 27 but was altered, saying, “As a matter of fact, I was in Kuje today. My bail hearing was set for the 27th. Omoyele Sowore said, over his dead body, will that happen, and he did it as he said. He made sure the date was pushed forward.”
Blord further stated that he was released and was heading to Anambra when he decided to personally appreciate Sowore, adding, “I am on my way to Anambra, my people are waiting for me, but I said even if I am going to miss my flight, I must come to Sowore to say thank you.”
He also revealed that he was presented with a symbolic item, saying, “He gave me a gift, as you can see, he gave me a beret. I am among the revolution team now.”
The “Revolution Team,” often linked to the #RevolutionNow movement led by Sowore, is a protest-driven campaign that advocates against corruption, insecurity and governance failures through civic mobilisation.
Blord was recently released after spending time in Kuje Prison following his arraignment at the Federal High Court in Abuja on charges bordering on impersonation and forgery linked to the alleged use of the image of activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
The dispute between the two men dates back to October 2025, when Blord advertised what he described as an “iPhone XR converted to an iPhone 17 Pro Max,” a claim that later triggered public accusations of misleading business practices.
He had previously faced other allegations in 2024 relating to cryptocurrency fraud and regulatory breaches.
