Sowore Blasts Blord’s Remand, Says VeryDarkMan’s Legal Victory Is ‘Not Justice’

Nigerian human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has said that the remand of Blord in prison, allegedly influenced by the legal strength of VeryDarkMan’s legal team, should not be regarded as a victory.

The activist made this known hours after a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja ordered that Blord be remanded at Kuje Prison for 26 days.

PulseNets learnt that the remand followed charges including impersonation of VeryDarkMan, forgery, false endorsement, breach of privacy, and identity theft, among others.

Reacting to the development, Sowore, in a Facebook post obtained by PulseNets, criticised the handling of the case, raising concerns about what he described as a misuse of legal processes.

He further accused VeryDarkMan and his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, of using the legal system to oppress Blord, stressing that true justice should be rooted in the merit of the case rather than legal maneuvering.

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.”
