The legal practitioner shut down any possibility of his client apologising to Burna Boy. According to Alieke, he would not even support Speedy doing such a thing.
The lawyer said that the matter was already in court and if Speed Darlington apologises, he has admitted his guilt.
Stanley Alieke went on to condemn how his client was arrested and detained. According to him, the police should not have been involved. In his words:
“Akpi no go ever beg Burna Boy, we sef, we no go support am because of the things wey he don suffer. He no go even gree if we advise am, I no go even wan advice am. Matter don go court, beg or no beg, it’s now in the jurisdiction of court to determine if wetin him talk, he really defame am or he no defame am. We are begging am mean say he don plead guilty be dat. The petition wey Burna Boy write be say the kain thing wey he don talk against am make am lose international reputation and lose some endorsements. Okay why not go to court and tell court to institute a civil action , the court will equate the damages to financial compensation. But because of the person wey dey involved, they come gather police, police come dey involved. We dey tell police say their hand no suppose dey inside right from time, in fact police suppose grant am administrative bail from when dem arrest am.”
