The businessman had earlier been remanded for 26 days following his arraignment over allegations including impersonation, forgery, and criminal conspiracy.
Sources claim that his legal team, led by a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), filed for an accelerated bail hearing in a bid to secure his early release. However, the request was reportedly turned down.
