Speed Darlington has been granted a bail of N20 million with one surety in the like, following his arraignment in a Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday.
Justice Ekerete Akpan gave the order in a ruling on the singer’s bail application moved by his lawyer, Marshall Abubakar after he pleaded not guilty to a two-count charge bordering on alleged cybercrime.
He ordered that the surety, who must be a Level 10 civil servant, must be a resident of Abuja and must depose to an affidavit of means.
The judge, who ordered Speed Darlington to deposit his international passport, directed the surety and the defendant to also submit their two recent passport photographs with the court registrar.
He consequently ordered Speed Darlington to be remanded in Kuje Correctional Centre pending the perfection of his bail conditions.
The matter has been adjourned till March 18 for trial.
