Controversial social media activist VeryDarkMan has pushed back strongly against Omoyele Sowore following the latter’s criticism of the detention of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord.
Blord was on Wednesday remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre over allegations bordering on criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and the unauthorised use of VeryDarkMan’s identity.
The case has since sparked a heated exchange between the activist and the politician.
Sowore had earlier condemned what he described as the “celebration” surrounding Blord’s incarceration, warning against trivialising the matter.
He further vowed to take steps to ensure that the charges against the entrepreneur are dropped and that he regains his freedom.
In a swift and firm reaction, VeryDarkMan defended the legal process, stressing that impersonation is a grave offence that must not be overlooked.

According to him, anyone found guilty of identity theft should face the full weight of the law.
He issued a direct warning to Sowore, cautioning against any support or justification of such actions.
“I’ll send you to prison if you impersonate me like Blord,” he said, reinforcing his zero-tolerance stance on identity misuse.
VeryDarkMan also insisted that the matter should be allowed to follow its full legal course without interference, noting that the protection of personal identity especially in the digital age is increasingly critical.
The development has triggered mixed reactions across social media, with some backing the activist’s position on identity protection, while others align with Sowore’s emphasis on civil liberties and due process.
As proceedings continue, the case remains a subject of intense public discourse, highlighting broader concerns around digital identity, accountability, and the balance between justice and individual rights in Nigeria.
