Stan Alieke, the counsel representing Nigerian singer Speed Darlington, has confirmed the musician’s re-arrest in Owerri, Imo State, over allegations of bail jumping. This development follows Darlington’s previous arrest in October, which stemmed from a petition filed by fellow artist Burna Boy.

In a comprehensive statement issued on Wednesday, Alieke detailed that Darlington had been granted administrative bail after what he described as an unlawful five-day detainment related to the Burna Boy incident. He emphasized that Darlington was scheduled to report back but was unable to do so due to a medical emergency that necessitated travel overseas for treatment.

Alieke clarified that the singer did not intend to evade bail, stating that arrangements had been made for his return to Abuja following a performance in Owerri. According to Alieke’s account, Darlington was detained on the basis of orders issued by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau.

The statement further stressed the lawyer’s view that the police’s recent actions are unnecessary and serve only to undermine Darlington’s rights. Alieke condemned the conduct as an improper use of police authority, suggesting a troubling pattern of behavior towards his client.

The situation raises significant concerns regarding the administration of justice and the treatment of artists within the Nigerian legal system. As developments unfold, the public will likely watch closely how this case progresses.
