OpenLife reports that a legal dispute has emerged between Marshall Abubakar, lawyer for Nigerian influencer VeryDarkMan, and businessman Blord, following a remark that has sparked controversy. Abubakar has filed a ₦1 billion defamation lawsuit, claiming that Blord referred to him as an “ex‑convict”.
Addressing the claim, Abubakar stated, “This claim is unfounded and has affected my credibility as a legal practitioner.” The lawyer is seeking both a public apology and compensation, emphasizing that such allegations can have serious repercussions on a professional’s reputation.
The dispute highlights the importance of precision and accountability in public statements. Abubakar insists that the comment has caused damage to his standing and credibility, making legal action necessary.
Blord, who is known in business and cryptocurrency circles, has not publicly responded to the filing.
The case centers solely on the disagreement between the two parties and the statement in question.
It brings attention to the seriousness with which reputational matters are treated and the steps individuals may take to address claims they consider harmful.
