Fresh developments have emerged in the ongoing legal battle involving billionaire businessman Linus Williams, popularly known as BLord, and social media personality VeryDarkMan.
According to reports circulating online, BLord’s request for an accelerated bail hearing has allegedly been denied, meaning he will remain in custody at Kuje Prison pending further proceedings.
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.
“BLORD’s file for ACCELERATED BAIL HEARING has been allegedly DENIED,” a circulating update stated.
