There are growing concerns over the health condition of embattled businessman Blord as he appeared at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Friday morning, April 17, for his bail application hearing.

The businessman, who has been in custody at Kuje prison for about 15 days, is currently facing charges bordering on criminal conspiracy, impersonation, and alleged unauthorised use of the image of social media critic VeryDarkMan (VDM).

Following his arraignment, the court had ordered that he be remanded pending the determination of his bail application.

In a video shared by activist Seaking, who was present in court for the hearing, Blord was seen arriving in traditional Igbo attire.

Despite the ongoing legal battle, he appeared calm and was seen smiling as he made his way to his seat inside the courtroom.

Seaking expressed concern over Blord’s physical condition, claiming that the businessman appeared to have lost significant weight since being remanded at Kuje prison.

According to him, the change in appearance has raised questions about how he has been coping in custody. This comes amid ongoing online discussions about his well-being since his detention.

Before the court appearance, VeryDarkMan had earlier suggested that Blord’s health situation was being monitored closely.

He reportedly claimed that, due to concerns, Blord was moved from a general cell housing hardened criminals to a segregation unit for safety and health reasons.

The activist also stated that he had been aware of the businessman’s condition since April 6, dismissing earlier suggestions that Blord was simply resting in custody.

Blord’s legal troubles have continued to draw public attention, especially as his bail application hearing proceeds before the Federal High Court.

His lawyer had earlier filed for bail, while the police initially opposed the application before later withdrawing their counter-affidavit.
