Taiye Currency: Court grant singer Rollex Dee N100 million bail

The Lagos State High Court has recently granted singer Rollex Dee a bail of N100 million, after he spent approximately two months in police custody. The court handed down the decision on Friday, August 21, 2026. MC Bokujaka, who has been spearheading the 'Free Rollex Dee' campaign online, reported that the court has mandated two sureties for the bail, each amounting to N50 million.

However, the court's requirement that one of the sureties must be a member of Rollex's family has complicated the process. The singer's bail was granted following the intervention of human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, who came to his aid amid widespread public condemnation of his alleged illegal detention, as reported by the DAILY POST.

Rollex Dee was initially arrested in April 2026 for allegedly defaming and cyberbullying Ibadan-based musician, Taiye Currency, during an interview on the Agbaletu programme. He was later released and subsequently re-arrested in early July following a supposed enticement by the Oyo State Police Command to attend what was purportedly a reconciliation meeting.

Rollex Dee is believed to have been a loyalist of Taiye Currency during a recent clash with Pasuma. The singer's exposure of alleged secrets about Taye Currency led to his arrest.
