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.
