He also recalled Davido and other celebrities’ involvement in Racksterli, a platform accused of defrauding Nigerians.
Daniel stressed that if the police were serious about fighting scams, they would arrest “any Nigerian who used their platform or influence to defraud Nigerians.”
He wrote:
“Blord is arrested over “cryptocurrency fraud” but Davido walks free despite his crypto token being called a scam; Let’s not forget how same Davido with the likes of Rema, Nancy Isime, & Williams Uchemba promoted RackSterli that was said to defraud many people. Influencers like Danny has also been called out for indulging in crypto scam yet no arrest. If the FCID is serious, any Nigerian who used their platform or influence to defraud Nigerians should be arrested.”

“I disagree with you, bcoz the cases of Davido and Blord are completely different and do not correlate in any way. Davido created a Solana meme coin and promoted it on social media, but he did not ask or force anyone to buy it. In contrast, the case of Blord is the complete.”

“I agree with you wholeheartedly. However, perhaps the cases you highlighted were not reported to the appropriate authorities to warrant them taking an action like they are doing currently.”
SEC warns Nigerians about Davido’s coin
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG recalls reporting that the Securities and Exchange Commission reacted to concerns about the recently launched cryptocurrency meme coin $DAVIDO, allegedly linked to Davido.
SEC clarified that meme coins were cryptocurrencies generally inspired by memes and internet jokes.
It explained that the coins are often envisaged as fun, light-hearted cryptocurrencies promoted through a social media community and sometimes through celebrity endorsements.
