    Sowore: Sending BLord to Prison Is No Victory

    Published on

    Nigerian human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has stated that sending Blord to prison due to expertise of VeryDarkMan’s legal team is not victory.

    Sowore stated this hours after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja remanded Blord in Kuje prison for 26 days.

    Blord was remanded on Wednesday, April 1 2026, for impersonating VeryDarkMan, forgery, false endorsement, breach of privacy, identity theft, among other charges.

    However, reacting to the report, Sowore in a Facebook post, condemned the manner at which the case was handled.

    While accusing VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar of oppressing Blord, Sowore said victory should come through the strength of the case and not by legal brilliance.

    He wrote, “have read about the court-ordered detention of an individual known as B-Lord, and I must say this clearly that no one should celebrate the incarceration of any person under the color of law.

    “I have reached out to my astute rights lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, urging him to disengage from the process. We must all agree that sending B-Lord to prison is not a victory for legal brilliance or advocacy. Rather, it risks emboldening a system of oppression that weaponizes the law against citizens.

    “Justice must never be reduced to punishment for its own sake. I will work to ensure this case is discontinued and B-Lord is released without further delay.”
