Police rearrest Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington

The Nigeria Police Force have arrested Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington, originally called Darlington Okoye, after being released last month.

Recall that the singer, also known as Akpi, was arrested on 4 October, following the release of a contentious video in which he allegedly mocked his colleague, Burna Boy’s association with American rapper Diddy, who has faced legal issues with the FBI over charges of sexual exploitation.

The singer was, however, released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in detention.

His latest arrest was announced by his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju on Wednesday via a post on his verified Facebook page.

“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 wrote.

However, effort to contact the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi proved abortive.
