Abuja-based lawyer Stan Alieke has withdrawn from representing singer Speed Darlington in his ongoing legal battle with Burna Boy.

This development comes after Speed Darlington’s release from Kuje prison this January, following a two-month detention.

Speed Darlington was freed after being granted bail, and his lawyer, Stan Alieke, confirmed his release on Instagram, expressing determination to seek justice for the alleged illegal detention and violation of Speed Darlington’s fundamental human rights.

Ekwutosblog reported that the singer’s detention stemmed from his accusation that Burna Boy had an immoral relationship with American rapper and music executive Diddy.

Following Speed Darlington’s release, Burna Boy issued a stern warning on Instagram, cautioning Speed Darlington against misbehaving again.

The reasons behind Alieke’s withdrawal are unclear, but possible factors could include professional disagreements, personal reasons, or the complexity of the case.

Thousands of people displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency are currently taking refuge in the town.

Boko Haram terrorists have killed over 20 Nigerian Army personnel, with many still missing following an attack on a military base in Borno State.

SaharaReporters gathered that for several hours on Friday, January 24, 2025, the terrorists attacked the 149 Battalion in Malam-Fatori, the headquarters of Abadam Local Government Area of Borno State.

Malam-Fatori is a border town between Nigeria and Niger Republic.

Thousands of people displaced by the Boko Haram insurgency are currently taking refuge in the town.

Sources confirmed to SaharaReporters that the insurgents attacked the base with multiple gun trucks.

The sources added that the terrorists razed many buildings and military operational vehicles during the attack.

Apart from the dead bodies recovered, many other soldiers were seriously injured while a yet-to-be ascertained number of personnel were still missing as of Saturday.

The commanding officer of the battalion, two senior officers including the base medical director were among those killed.

This comes a few days after the terror group launched a brutal attack on the military’s Forward Operating Base in the Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State, killing a yet-to-be confirmed number of soldiers, with many believed to still be missing.

“25 Taskforce Bde was attacked during the weekend with so many casualties, so far we have recovered over seven bodies,” a source had told SaharaReporters.

“The terror group invaded the camp FOB Sabon Gari around 4am on Saturday, using various weapons.”

ISWAP subsequently claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement.

Also attached to the statement were pictures of members shooting sporadically towards the military facility.

Since the death of JAS leader, Abubakar Shekau, ISWAP has been consolidating its grip in locations around Lake Chad.

The sect’s membership has swollen with the defection of hundreds of Boko Haram fighters under Shekau.

The Nigerian Army has repeatedly claimed that insurgency had been largely defeated and frequently underplays any losses.

The terror group has caused over 100,000 deaths and displaced millions of people mainly in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states.
