Nigerian cryptocurrency celebrity Linus Williams, popularly known as Blord, has been granted bail following three days in police custody.
The fintech CEO, who has a significant following in the cryptocurrency community, was detained by the Cybercrime unit of the Nigeria Police Force over allegations of cryptocurrency fraud and terrorism financing linked to his companies.
Blord was arrested on Tuesday in Abuja, leading to a wave of reactions from his supporters and the broader fintech community. According to local media, the 26-year-old entrepreneur was released on Friday and promptly addressed his followers.
Taking to Instagram, Blord posted a message stating, “Youth President For A Reason,” signaling his resilience and leadership role among young Nigerians.
The Blord Group, headed by Linus Williams, quickly issued a statement denying the allegations of his arrest. They clarified that Blord was merely invited for questioning by the authorities and was not formally arrested.
The statement aimed to reassure investors and supporters concerned about the potential impact of the allegations on the company’s operations.
