Human rights activist Omoyele Sowore has addressed fresh threats directed at him following his intervention that secured the release of cryptocurrency entrepreneur Linus Williams, widely known as Blord, from Kuje prison.

Recall that Blord was remanded over impersonation and forgery charges connected to an online dispute with social media influencer VeryDarkMan.

Speaking outside the court on Monday, April 27, Sowore explained that his involvement delivered exactly what he promised, ensuring the businessman's rights were protected and the case entirely discontinued.

"I have told you guys that my intervention in the case is to ensure that Bill Lord's rights are not trampled upon, and that he's granted bail, and that the case is discontinued, and that my lawyer has been directed as such. Everything I told you has come to pass. So what else are you looking for?"

Addressing the threats stemming from the public back-and-forth over the release from prison, the activist revealed that he had no intention of arguing with VeryDarkMan.

He said he prefers to make personal sacrifices rather than escalate the drama.

"If I have to go down so that people don't get maltreated, I'm ready to go down. There's no big deal about it. So you want me to be trading words with him? That's not my nature, and it's not in my character."

Omoyele Sowore said he was more concerned about the police wasting public funds on non-existent cases like Blord's, revealing that he had already achieved his ultimate victory since the presiding judge had abandoned the case against the crypto businessman.
