Nigerian crypto currency entrepreneur Blord has narrated his first-ever encounter with activist and politician Omoyele Sowore, expressing appreciation for what he described as a timely intervention in his legal ordeal.
Speaking after the meeting, Blord said he had never met or spoken with Sowore prior to the incident.
“I went to see the Minister of Youth, Mr Sowore, in respect of my matter to appreciate him. As a matter of fact, I’ve never met Sowore in my life. I’ve never called him on the phone,” he said.
He explained that Sowore stepped in after learning he was allegedly being intimidated, adding that the intervention altered the course of events surrounding his detention.
“But when he heard that I was being intimidated, he had to step in. I was supposed to be in Kuje till today. My bail hearing was set for the 27th. Sowore said that over his dead body would that happen, and he did it as he said,” Blord stated.
According to him, he made it a priority to personally thank Sowore despite his tight schedule.
“Even if I’m going to miss my flight, I must come and see Sowore to say thank you and appreciate him, which I did,” he added.
Blord further revealed that Sowore presented him with a symbolic gift during the visit.
“He gave me a gift, as you can see, he gave me a beret. I’m among the revolution team,” he said.
