Speed Darlington Will Spend His Christmas And New Year Holidays In Detention – Lawyer

Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Stan Alieke has come out to say that the date assigned for the singer’s arraignment is January 15, 2025.

He recently revealed that he wonders why the police have refused to grant him bail three weeks after he was re-arrested and detained.

According to him, Speed has been in detention for three weeks straight, and the date given for his arraignment implies that he will be spending the Christmas and New Year holidays in the IRT detention centre in Abuja.

He added that the police have the power to grant the singer administrative bail, but they have refused to thus far.

Recall that Speed Darlington was arrested over a petition Burna Boy wrote against him claiming he defamed him.

WOW.
