Stan Alieke, rapper Speed Darlington’s lawyer has dropped an update on the controversial music star’s detention in police custody.
In a recent Instagram story update, the lawyer confirmed that Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, was arraigned in court and granted bail today, 15th January.
Despite the favourable ruling, the release process faced delays. According to the lawyer, the court could not complete the verification of the surety provided within the same day, which resulted in Speed Darlington remaining in custody.
The lawyer reassured the public that efforts are underway to finalize the bail conditions, expressing optimism that the artist would be released tomorrow.
Speed Darlington was arrested by Burna Boy over alleged defamation and cyberstalking. He has spent over a month in police custody.
Sharing the update on IG, Stan Alieke wrote:
“Yes, Akpi was arraigned and granted bail today by the court & he was meant to be released today. The court just couldn’t meet up to verify the surety we provided that’s why he wasn’t released today. Hopefully by tommorow he’ll be out after the perfection of the bail conditions.”
