Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington barely two months after he was released.
Media Talk Africa reports 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 outspoken Nigerian singer was, however, released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in detention.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju announced the latest arrest on Wednesday via a post on his official Facebook page.
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”.
Efforts by Media Talk Africa to reach the NPF on the matter proved abortive as the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi did not take his calls.
