The reason why the police has not given Speed Darlington bail is something none of us can explain – Singer’s lawyer, Stan Alieke, says

Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Stan Alieke, says the date assigned for the singer’s arraignment is January 15, 2025, and that he wonders why the police have refused to grant him bail three weeks after he was re-arrested and detained.

In a live chat today, Stan said the singer has been in detention for three weeks. He said that the date given for Speed Darlington’s arraignment implies that he will be spending the Christmas and New Year holidays in the IRT detention centre in Abuja which is also known as Abbatoir. He said the police have the power to grant the singer administrative bail but that he is surprised that they have refused to. Alieke said he understands that the police also have a score to settle with Speed Darling over bribery allegations he levelled against them.

Speed Darlington was arrested over a petition BurnaBoy wrote against him claiming he defamed him.
