Lawyer to the embattled singer, Speed Darlington, Stan Alieke, has expressed his frustration in trying to get his client released from police custody.

The lawyer spoke following Darlington’s continued detention by the police despite being granted bail by the court on December 23, 2024.

DAILY POST reports that the singer was rearrested on November 27, over allegations of cyberstalking Burna Boy.

Barely a month after his arrest, the Federal High Court in Abuja granted him bail on Monday, December 23, but his continued detention after the court order has sparked outrage among his supporters and legal team.

While updating the public on the singer’s case on Friday, Alieke who noted that he has exhausted all his connections, also accused the police of disobeying the order of the Federal High Court.

In a now trending video shared on his Instagram page, the lawyer insinuated that Burna Boy might have bribed the police to keep Darlington behind bars.

"We have done everything a lawyer should do to get his clients out. I have even exhausted all my connections. I have reached out to my political friends here in Abuja. The police have refused to obey the court order. There’s no justification for not obeying the court that granted Darlington bail.

“The first time he was arrested in October, Burna came there with his team and I was also there with Akpi and some of my staff. After the meeting, I saw Burna sharing bundles of cash with the police and the police were asking for selfies. I told my staff that, see, if this guy makes a mistake again, these people will drill him.”

The problem with Speed Darlington is Akpi.

Normal normal no celebrity would visit police and fail to share money.

The lesson of this Speed Darlington case is that if you don't have money in Nigeria, don't make trouble against the rich because you will suffer if the rich decides to spend money on your head.

Third to comment.. 😂😂😂

OK

Bleep Nigeria , And Bleep you NPF and Bleep Ya'all on this Thread .

G

Play me Bundle by bundle by burna boy.
Na ph boy una de carry de play una never see anything

If another endsars never happen police no go learn

This time we don't want any freedom fighter, any activist to b involved or any influencers

Just pure civilians who want to change things

Too much lies marred the last one n many loop holes from d activists, freedom fighter, influencers n co whom we later learnt many of them cashed out

Celebrities always share money and take selfies with security personnels
Why didn't you advise your client to stop posting and saying rubbish when he was bailed the 1st time

This serious

Where's the lie here?, The Nigeria police and money are like bread and akara.

Foolish short man

Abeg shey this lawyer go law school coz I no wan hear justice for anyone when they ask him to produce evidence o

We all know it's likely true but the law doesn't run on heresy or emotions

Although I know detaining someone for more than 24 hours without persecution is a crime but I am loving speed Darlingtons longer stay in cell cox he's an idiot.

If I were in burna's shoes I will take the law into my hands cox I for mend am properly.

Speed Darlington is a disgrace to his late Arondizuogu father.

No justice as long as you are in Nigeria.

Money is what tickles Nigerian police. When you are regular in giving them money to do you favors, they will treat you as first class citizen

Police is your friend

Wait, the court granted someone bail, but the police are holding him? Because someone gave them bundles of money? May God help us.

Wetin make me like akpi be say, even with plenty drilling from police hand, ma man go add X3 of his previous vawulence while Burna boy keep making him relevant

Akpi has been stupid and his enemies are using his foolishness to deal with him.

If you want to play, play smart or else your enemies will deal with you.

This generation lacks smart people.


😂😂😂😂😂

Akpi deserves whatever he is getting..

Talk anyhow

No wonder he sing bundle by bundle

I thought they say bail is free?

Our judiciary is a joke. Look at a common SP or ACP flouting a federal high court order.

Let them arrest him naa – if e sure for them. Sometimes, when you don't have evidence, you throw it out there and hope that public opinion will tip the scale in your favour.

Doesn't make the judiciary a joke. Makes our police force a joke.
