Nigerian singer Speed Darlington was rearrested barely after his return from the US according to his legal lawyer, Law Capitol.
Darlington, who was first held in Lagos and then transported to Abuja on the back of a report by fellow artist Burna Boy, had been granted bail on health grounds. However, his lawyer Stan Alieke says, in a statement, that the latest arrest is on account of allegations of jumping bail.
The ongoing legal drama between the two musicians continues to spark controversy, as fans question the motive behind Burna Boy’s involvement in the initial arrest. Darlington’s re-arrest highlights the heated tensions and unresolved issues fueling this high-profile feud.
