The Nigeria Police Force, on Tuesday, arrested the chief executive officer of Blord Group of Companies, Linus Williams.
This was made known in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday.
Blord is under investigation over complaints against him on alleged fraud, violation of the Central Bank of Nigeria Act, terrorism funding, and others.
Adejobi refuted claims that Blord’s arrest was a result of Martin Otse, aka Verydarkman’s, petition.
The statement reads: “The FCID NPF-NCCC is currently investigating complaints lodged against BLORD GROUP, BLORD REAL ESTATE LTD, BLORD JETPAYE LIMITED, and BILLPOINT TECHNOLOGY.
“These offences include allegations bordering on cryptocurrency fraud, aiding internet fraud, computer-related fraud, terrorism funding, and non-compliance with regulatory frameworks.
“We will do due diligence in our investigations. Our cyberspace in Nigeria must be safe and secure by all means.”
