Linus Williams, CEO of BLORD Group of Companies, is currently under police interrogation following serious allegations of fraud and violations of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Act. The Federal Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) and the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC) are probing the complaints against Williams and his companies, which include BLORD Real Estate Ltd, BLORD Jetpaye Limited, and Billpoint Technology.

The accusations encompass a range of offenses, including cryptocurrency fraud, aiding internet fraud, computer-related fraud, terrorism funding, and non-compliance with regulatory frameworks. These allegations have raised significant concerns about the integrity and legality of the operations within Williams’ business empire.

ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, emphasized the seriousness of the investigation. “We will do due diligence in our investigations. Our cyberspace in Nigeria must be safe and secured by all means. We are committed to achieving that,” he stated on July 16, 2024.

The investigation aims to ensure that all regulatory and legal frameworks are strictly adhered to, reinforcing the commitment to maintaining a secure and fraud-free cyberspace in Nigeria. As the probe continues, the business community and the public are keenly watching to see the outcome of these high-stakes allegations against one of Nigeria’s prominent business figures.
