The Lagos State High Court has granted Nigerian singer Rollex Dee bail set at N100 million, following approximately two months in police detention. The bail was granted on Friday, August 21, 2026, according to a report by Daily Post, with the development announced by MC Bokujaka, who has been leading the online campaign for Rollex's release.
Bail Conditions and Family Surety Requirement
According to MC Bokujaka, the court fixed Rollex Dee's bail at N100 million. The singer is required to provide two sureties, each standing for N50 million. One of the sureties must reportedly be a member of Rollex's family, a condition that MC Bokujaka noted could make it difficult for the singer to perfect his bail and regain his freedom.
Rollex Dee's legal troubles began in April 2026 when he was arrested over allegations of defaming and cyberbullying Ibadan-based musician Taye Currency during an interview on the Agbaletu programme. He was initially released but was reportedly arrested again in July after allegedly being invited to a reconciliation meeting by the Oyo State Police Command.
Background of the Case and Online Campaign
The singer was said to have been one of Taye Currency's loyalists during the musician's clash with Pasuma. After their relationship reportedly broke down, Rollex allegedly revealed details about Taye, which led to the legal trouble. The case attracted widespread online attention, with human rights activist Omoyele Sowore intervening amid concerns over the singer's prolonged detention.
MC Bokujaka has been at the forefront of the campaign calling for Rollex's release, and his announcement of the bail has been met with cautious optimism by supporters. However, the stringent bail conditions, particularly the family member surety requirement, may prolong the singer's stay in detention.
Related Developments in the Music Scene
In a related development, Legit.ng reported that Taye Currency reconciled with his senior colleague, Wasiu Alabi Pasuma, following their rift. Taye called Pasuma his boss, a nod to the mentorship and respect that defined their connection since meeting in 1993. He, however, described another colleague, Saheed Osupa, as a colleague, a comment which did not sit well with the latter's fans.
The outcome of Rollex Dee's bail process remains to be seen, as he works to meet the court's conditions and secure his release from detention.
