Stan Alieke, the lawyer representing the embattled singer Speed Darlington, has voiced his frustration over the challenges he is facing in securing his client’s release from police custody.
Alieke’s attempts to navigate the legal process and advocate for Speed Darlington’s freedom have been met with obstacles, highlighting the complexities of the situation.
The lawyer representing singer Speed Darlington, Stan Alieke, expressed his frustration regarding the continued detention of his client, despite a court granting bail on December 23, 2024. Darlington was originally rearrested on November 27 over allegations of cyberstalking musician Burna Boy.
Following the bail granted by the Federal High Court in Abuja, there has been public outrage from Darlington’s supporters and legal team over his ongoing detention. In an update shared on Friday, Alieke indicated that he has used all his connections to secure his client’s release and accused the police of disregarding the court’s order.
In a now-viral video on Instagram, the lawyer suggested that Burna Boy may have influenced the police to keep Darlington incarcerated. Alieke stated, “We have done everything a lawyer should do to get his client 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.”
He recounted a previous encounter, stating, “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 if this guy makes a mistake again, these people will drill him.”
