Blord was remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre on Wednesday after he was accused of criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and the unauthorised use of VeryDarkMan’s identity.

Sowore publicly condemned what he called the “celebration” of Blord’s incarceration and vowed to work toward having the case dropped and Blord released.

In response, VeryDarkMan took to Instagram to express disappointment that Sowore chose to speak out publicly rather than reach out privately.

He warned Sowore not to cross him, issuing a stern caution against any unauthorised use of his identity and threatening legal action if Sowore did the same.

VeryDarkMan further argued that the case demonstrates that influence and wealth do not place individuals above the law.

“Dear Omoyele Sowore (@yelesho), you had every opportunity to call me on the phone as a younger brother regarding this Blord matter. Because of the respect I have for you, if you had asked me to let it go, I might have. But instead, you chose to test your strength—abi?,” he wrote.

“On God, if you cross this path and use my face or name to promote any business without my approval, I, Martins Vincent Otse, will send you to prison. If you doubt it, try me… you might end up begging to discontinue the case . Sowore is so funny— comedian of the year.

“Also, let it be known that in a country where people use money to escape the law and connections to manipulate cases, Martins Vincent Otse (aka VeryDarkMan), who is often considered poor, dirty, or small, has sent a man—who is widely seen as well-connected, powerful, and influential—to the Kuje Correctional Centre. Knowledge is indeed power.”
