‘Avoid lawsuits, some will humble you’ — Darlington’s lawyer advises

Stan Alieke, the lawyer of controversial social media sensation and music star, Speed Darlington, has advised the public to avoid getting into legal issues.

The legal practitioner, via his verified Instagram stories on Saturday cautioned those who recklessly invites trouble, believing their lawyers will perform magic and get them out.

According to Alieke, over the course of his career, he had seen people lose everything while fighting a court case, adding that some troubles can truly “humble you for life”.

“As your lawyer, I will advise you to try as much as you can to avoid troubles, it is not worth it. All these ‘I will call my lawyer’ bragging is nothing. Lawyers can only do their best and leave you alone,” he wrote.

“All these ‘gra gra’ that some of you are doing is because you have not jammed who has your time and is ready to deal with you. Some trouble will humble you for life. I have seen people loose everything fighting a court case.”

Alieke’s advice is coming shortly after Darlington was released on bail after spending five days in police custody in Abuja.

Darlington’s detention stemmed from a formal complaint filed by Burna Boy. He was accused of defaming and cyberstalking the Grammy winner.
