Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju claims that his attempts to secure the release of musician Darlington Okoye, better known by his stage name Speed Darlington, from the Nigeria Police Force’s custody were unsuccessful.
Recall that the singer was arrested again by police on Tuesday while performing in the capital of Imo State, Owerri, for reportedly cyberstalking his colleague Burna Boy.
His attorney, Adeyanju, stated in a Wednesday night update posted on his official Facebook page that the singer was not released on bond by the police.
He wrote,
“The Nigerian police brought our client Speed Darlington to Abuja from Owerri this evening and I just met him.
“They have refused to release him on bail over defamation of Burna Boy. Burna Boy, the Ojuelegba Fela sings about oppression but oppresses Akpi with the police”.
