The Lagos State Government disclosed this in a post shared on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday.
Otitoju, who was arrested on Sunday, pleaded not guilty to the charges during his arraignment.
His legal counsel, Oluwaseun Ettu, appealed to the court for bail on compassionate grounds, considering his age.
