“I can never be bought,” he declared, adding that attempts to intimidate him would not succeed.
Blord was earlier arrested and remanded at the Kuje Correctional Centre in Abuja over allegations including criminal conspiracy, impersonation and the unauthorised use of the identity of social media activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
