Wednesday, November 27, 2024 -Speed Darlington, whose real name is Darlington Okoye, has been arrested again by the Nigerian police in Owerri, Imo State.
This was confirmed by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, in a post on his X
account on Wednesday morning, Nov. 27.
He wrote, “Our client Speed Darlington, a.k.a. AKPI, has been arrested
by the Nigerian police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”
He added that the arrest occurred when the singer returned to Nigeria
for a show.
The reasons for Darlington’s arrest remained unclear at the time
of filing this report. However, Adeyanju claimed Burna Boy is behind it.
He wrote: “Burna Boy behind harassment of Speed
Darlington by the police. This is someone who has been singing against
oppression and forming junior Fela now oppressing Akpi.”
Recall that Speed Darlington was arrested on
October 4 by the Nigerian police over a video he did insinuating that his
colleague Burna Boy had a s*xual relationship with US rapper Diddy and that is
how he broke into the international community.
He was, however, released on bail on October 9
after spending five days in detention.
Following his release Speed Darlington travelled
abroad where he continued to taunt Burna Boy.
