Businessman and cryptocurrency trader Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has sparked widespread discussion on social media after describing his recent detention in Kuje prison as a vacation. In a newly surfaced video, he detailed the special privileges he enjoyed while incarcerated, including a personal chef and access to the Very Important Personnel section, which he compared to an NYSC camp.
Blord's Claims About His Stay
According to Blord, he was held in the VIP section of the prison, where he had access to various amenities. He stated that the prison was locked down in his honor and that he engaged in sporting activities with fans who demanded his release. Blord further claimed that his room was equipped with every possible appliance, and he had his own chef during his stay.
Blord spent over 15 days in Kuje prison after being remanded for 26 days on charges including criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and unauthorized use of the image of social media critic VeryDarkMan.
Comparison with VeryDarkMan
In his remarks, Blord contrasted his experience with that of VeryDarkMan, alleging that the online critic was treated like a terrorist and placed in a high-security section reserved for bomb suspects. He claimed that VDM was severely beaten during his detention, a stark difference from his own luxurious treatment.
Blord stated, "Kuje Prison looks like NYSC camp, very big; they kept me where powerful people stay. I went on vacation in Kuje Prison. I had my own chef, and my room had every appliance you can think of. When VeryDarkMan was taken to Kuje prison, he was kept where they keep people carrying bombs, and they beat the hell out of him."
Public Reactions
The video of Blord sharing his prison experience has generated mixed reactions from the public. Some commenters expressed skepticism, while others criticized his boastful tone. Below are some of the reactions:
- Trullydearest commented: "Like wise FCID, Abuja. It looks like a 3-star hotel, only that you cannot walk away or go out."
- dinadolass1 said: "This guy wants to start what he can't finish again. Anyway, I just want VDM to overlook him before they start saying VDM is causing distractions again."
- Akposxau wrote: "One might think he has learned to stop talking too much, but he obviously hasn't learned anything."
- Whalex commented: "See person wey dey beg for handshake come here kon dey lie; if he likes the prison so much, what made him come out?"
- LyfAcrosBorders said: "Dude sounds way too comfortable talking about prison. His mouth and actions will destroy him."
Blord Attempts to Compensate Sowore
In a related development, a video showing activist Omoyele Sowore reacting after Blord attempted to compensate him for his role in securing his release from Kuje prison has circulated online. In the clip, Blord gestured toward Sowore as though offering compensation, but the activist politely declined, maintaining a calm expression. The exchange drew attention, with many focusing on Sowore's reaction and Blord's persistence.
