Speed Darlington gets bail after one month in detention
Speed Darlington, the Nigerian rapper, has been granted bail after nearly a month in police custody.
The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo state.
Deji Adeyanju, a human rights lawyer, had alleged that Burna Boy, the Afrofusion star, was responsible for the rapper’s arrest.
Darlington had taunted Burna Boy over his affiliation with the embattled US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
He asked Burna Boy to explain how he won the Grammy award for his album ‘Twice As Tall’ — a project executive produced by Diddy. He claimed there was a sexual relationship between the duo.
Stan Alieke, the legal representative of Darlington, earlier revealed that weeks after the rapper’s arrest, the police had denied him access to bail.
The lawyer also called on the law enforcement agency not to “trample on my client’s constitutional rights”.
But in an Instagram post on Monday, Alieke disclosed that his client had been granted bail.
“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote without including much information.
