Popular social media influencer VeryDarkMan has agreed to an amicable resolution of his ongoing legal dispute with cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams Ifejirika, following the intervention of veteran activist Omoyele Sowore.
The development marks a significant turn in a case that had drawn widespread public attention after Blord was remanded at Kuje Prison for 26 days beginning April 1, 2026, amid a heated social media clash between the two figures.
Tensions had initially escalated when Sowore criticized the role played by VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshall Abubakar, accusing them of leveraging influence to secure Blord’s detention. In response, VeryDarkMan publicly pushed back, even threatening legal action against Sowore over his remarks.
However, the situation began to de-escalate after a court granted Blord bail on self-recognition two weeks into his remand.
Speaking to journalists after the bail was secured, Marshall Abubakar—who also represents Sowore—confirmed that both parties are now committed to resolving the matter outside prolonged litigation.
“We have now resolved to work together and to get this matter resolved amicably,” he said, expressing optimism that progress would be reported to the court at the next adjourned date.
He praised Sowore’s intervention and acknowledged VeryDarkMan’s willingness to settle, noting that tensions had cooled significantly. Abubakar also emphasized that while the dispute had criminal elements, both parties are now focused on reconciliation rather than revisiting past grievances.
Describing the shift in tone, he added that Blord and VeryDarkMan now see each other as “brothers and friends,” underscoring a broader message about unity among influential young Nigerians.
The case, which once highlighted the volatile intersection of social media influence and legal action, now appears headed toward a peaceful resolution—signaling a possible end to one of the country’s most talked-about online feuds in recent weeks.
