“As from today I and my law firm we no longer represent Speed Darlington” – Stanieleke

A few days ago, Stanalieke revealed that their client Speed Darlington has regained his freedom after being detained for two months due to the defamation of Afrobeat songwriter Burna Boy.

Stanieleke Law Firm, which played a vital role for the controversial singer Akpi to regain his freedom, has openly come out to officially withdraw from legally representing Speed Darlington.

The lawyer took to his Instagram account to announce the termination of the contract between him and his firm with Akpi.

“I and my firm (Law Capitol) have officially withdrawn from legally representing Mr. Darlington Achakpo, PKA Speed Darlington/Akpi, and henceforth ceased to act as his legal attorneys,” said Stanalieke.

The decision Stanalieke to withdraw from legally representing Akpi has stirred reactions from Netizens, as many believe Akpi’s refusal to appreciate the law firm might be the reason.
