Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has confirmed that his client and musician, Darlington Okoye, more commonly called Speed Darlington, also known as AKPI, has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Owerri, Imo State.

In a statement posted on his official Facebook page, Adeyanju 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 Darlington's arrest occurred during his return to Nigeria for a show.

The reasons for the Darlington arrest remained unclear.

Meanwhile, SaharaReporters recently reported that the Nigerian police detained Darlington over alleged cyberstalking of fellow musician, Damini Ogulu, more commonly known as Burna Boy.

SaharaReporters had reported that Speed Darlington was arrested and detained at the notorious centre of the IGP's Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.

The musician was then visited by Adeyanju who also told SaharaReporters that he had seen a petition written against Darlington by afrobeat musician, Burna Boy.

Darlington had been arrested in Lagos and tossed around many police formations in Lagos before he was taken to detention in Abuja by the IRT team who accused him of cyberstalking Burna Boy.

Talentless

Tactless and

Very Useless

VDM beg for him before,now he go chop full plate.

Make them leave Akpi oo😂😂




Burna boy we see your hands on this

Thank you for arresting him.
He is such a nuisance.

Tell him to release one hit song before you release him.
The guy cannot sing to save his own life !!!

I wonder which kind of people book Akpi for show.
People who like to use their money to torture themselves.

I have told the government several times, License all these guys, let them be renewing the License every 12 months. Anybody that says rubbish or embarrass the country abroad, don't renew his License for 12 months.

The people paying to watch speed darlington are in Nigeria, If he had a license to renew every 12 months, he would comport himself, home and abroad.

The obsession is real

Again?

Akpi no get talent and still no come get common sense.

Darlington get show?

Certainly not for the music.

This guy just dey waste him money for nothing

Tank God

He no get speed at all!

Burna Boy and The Nigerian Police should let this boy be. You guys should learn to take some jokes and overlook certain things

His arrest is right what his doing to burna is unacceptable. You can’t be insulting his mom and expect him to be calm about it.

Free akpi
