Speed Darlington was accused of jumping bail – Lawyer reveals shocking twist behind rapper’s second arrest

Controversy is a dangerous mistress; she seduces with promises of fame and power, but abandons you when the consequences hit. People who bask in scandal often forget that there’s a cost to every whisper, every headline, every drama. Speed Darlington's rearrest is a testament to how quickly the very thing that once made you a star can become the force that takes you down.

Speed Darlington was accused of jumping bail – Lawyer reveals shocking twist behind rapper’s second arrest
  • In the last few hours, the internet has been buzzing with a storm of assumptions and heated speculations surrounding Speed Darlington’s second arrest.
  • Many have turned their gaze towards Burna Boy, accusing him of orchestrating this new ordeal due to his connection to Darlington’s first arrest.
  • As the public debates and theories spiral out of control, Darlington’s legal team decided to step in, breaking their silence with a statement that sheds light on the circumstances leading to his rearrest.

Stan Alieke, the legal counsel representing Speed Darlington, has shed light on the explosive circumstances surrounding the singer’s dramatic rearrest in Owerri, Imo State.

The controversial artist, whose name has become synonymous with bold antics and fiery clashes, found himself back in custody last night amid allegations of bail jumping—a charge Alieke has categorically dismissed as both unfair and misleading.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls the stormy events of October when Speed Darlington was taken into custody following a petition filed by his colleague and industry heavyweight, Burna Boy.

The arrest, which became a sensational talking point, kept Darlington detained for five grueling days in Abuja under controversial circumstances that his legal team has since branded as unlawful.

In a bold statement released on Wednesday, addressing his rearrest, Stan Alieke, revealed that the controversial singer was granted administrative bail in October.

Alieke explained that while his client, Speed Darlington, was given a specific date to report back, he was unable to do so due to an urgent medical emergency that forced him to seek treatment abroad.

The lawyer vehemently asserted that Speed Darlington had no intention of jumping bail, emphasized that the singer had made clear arrangements to return to Abuja immediately after his performance in Owerri.

The statement reads;

“Following our client’s performance in Owerri, our client was picked up by the police on allegations that he jumped bail. We are informed that this action was purportedly on the orders of the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau

“It is important to set the record straight, that on the 8th of October, 2024, our client was granted administrative bail after being illegally detained for five days upon being shipped from Lagos in connection with the Burna Boy’s incident. He was given a date to report back but was unable to do so due to a medical emergency that required him to travel abroad for treatment.

“In good faith, our client had arranged to return to Abuja after his performance at Owerri, in consultation with his lawyer and in liaison with police officers. It was never his intention to jump bail.

“We find this action by the police to be not only unnecessary but a clear attempt to embarrass and trample on the rights of our client. Such conduct is both unwarranted and a misuse of police authority.”
