Police probe Blord’s armed escorts after viral video

The Nigeria Police Force has launched an investigation into a viral video that showed armed police officers escorting businessman Linus Williams, also known as Blord. The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, described the escort as "unlawful and illegal" in a statement posted on his official X account. The video, posted by Blord on his Instagram page, showed him arriving at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport in Enugu, accompanied by armed police officers in camouflage uniforms.

The police directive to withdraw VIP protection officers and redeploy them to core policing duties was issued by President Bola Tinubu on November 23, 2025.
