 Again, Police arrest singer, Speed Darlington


Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested a Nigerian musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, in Owerri, the Imo State capital.


Counsel for the singer and Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the development in a post on his official X page on Wednesday.


Adeyanju stated that his client was arrested while performing at a show in Owerri, days after returning to the country earlier in the week.


He wrote, “Our client, Speed Darlington, a.k.a AKPI, has been arrested by the Nigeria Police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”


However, the reason for the singer’s arrest remains unclear at the time of filing this report.


The Nigeria Police had arrested Darlington over alleged cyberstalking of a fellow musician, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy.


The singer was arrested in Lagos and transferred to Abuja before being detained by the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.


The musician, who was accused of cyberstalking Burna Boy, was released on bail days after his arrest.
