Speed Darlington’s lawyer claims that Burna provided the police with large amounts of money and expresses feelings of frustration.
The ongoing legal saga of embattled singer Speed Darlington has taken a troubling turn, as his lawyer, Stan Alieke, publicly expressed his frustration regarding his client’s continued detention by the police. Despite being granted bail by the Federal High Court on December 23, 2024, Darlington remains in custody, raising concerns about the adherence to judicial authority.
Darlington’s troubles began with his arrest on November 27, stemming from allegations of cyberstalking fellow artist Burna Boy. Following a month of legal battles, the court’s decision to grant bail was met with optimism; however, the singer’s ongoing detention has ignited outrage among his supporters and legal team.
In a recent update, Alieke criticized the police for their apparent disregard for the court’s order. He claimed to have exhausted all avenues, including reaching out to political connections in Abuja, yet the police have remained unyielding. In a now-viral video shared on social media, Alieke suggested that external influences may be at play, hinting at the possibility of bribery involving Burna Boy and law enforcement officials.
Alieke’s comments reflect a broader concern regarding the integrity of the legal process and the protection of individual rights within the judicial system. As the situation develops, the public and legal observers alike will be watching closely to see how this case unfolds and whether justice will ultimately prevail for Speed Darlington.

The Nigerian film industry is in mourning following the death of Kayode Peters, a renowned filmmaker and producer. The news was announced by his family on his official Instagram page, stating that he passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, June 28, 2025, in Toronto, Canada, after a long illness.
Peters, fondly known as KP, was celebrated for his contributions as a filmmaker, actor, and producer. He was known for his role as Koko in the popular sitcoms “Twilight Zone” and “Flatmates” in the early 2000s. His work also extended to stage plays and sitcoms like “Extended Family” and “Being Farouk,” significantly impacting Nigeria’s contemporary theatre and television landscape.
He is survived by his wife, Alexander, and their children. Funeral arrangements are underway, and further details will be shared by the family in due course. The industry and fans alike will deeply miss his warmth, generosity, and contributions to Nollywood.
Popular Nigerian skit maker, Carter Efe, has reportedly lost access to his Instagram and TikTok accounts. This development follows recent criticism leveled against Afrobeat artist Wizkid during a TikTok live stream.
Efe’s comments, in which he accused Wizkid of pride, triggered a backlash from Wizkid’s fanbase, known as Wizkid FC. Subsequently, Efe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that his Instagram account, boasting 1.8 million followers, was taken down by Wizkid FC. He later released an apology video stating that his TikTok account had also been blocked.
Efe has appealed to Wizkid and Wizkid FC for forgiveness and the restoration of his accounts.
Gabriel Oche Amanyi, known as Terry G, has asserted his significant contribution to the Nigerian music landscape. The “Akpoko Master,” pioneer of the “Street-hop” movement in the 2010s, stated that his influence is undeniable when discussing cultural impact within the Nigerian music industry.
His comments, made via social media on Wednesday, arrive amidst ongoing discussions regarding impact and legacies, spurred by the recent exchange between Odumodublvck and Blaqbonez.
In his statement on X, Terry G declared, “You can’t talk about cultural impact in Nigeria without talking about Terry G. I am the culture!” This pronouncement underscores his belief in his lasting effect on the evolution of Nigerian music.
