Blord Under Police Investigation Over Alleged Unlawful Use of VIP Escorts

Nigerian businessman Linus Williams Ifejirika, popularly known as Blord, is under investigation over the alleged unlawful use of police officers as personal escorts.

The development was disclosed on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Anietie Okokon Edem Iniedu, in a statement responding to a viral video showing the businessman accompanied by uniformed police officers.

Describing the alleged arrangement as illegal, the police spokesperson said an investigation had commenced to establish the circumstances surrounding the officers’ presence with Blord.

“Unlawful and illegal. Investigation has commenced into this incident, please. We say #NoToImpunity,” Iniedu stated.

The video reportedly showed Blord with uniformed police officers in different settings, including what appeared to be a modern interior and the entrance of a building. However, the circumstances under which the officers were assigned to him have not been publicly established.

The investigation comes amid a presidential directive ordering the withdrawal of police personnel attached to VIPs. The directive is intended to redirect officers towards their primary responsibility of protecting lives and property.

The police have yet to disclose whether the officers seen in the video were officially assigned to Blord, how long they had been attached to him, or whether any disciplinary action has been taken.
