Controversial rapper, Darlington Okoye aka Speed Darlington, has been granted bail by the Nigeria Police Force.
This was disclosed by his counsel, Stanley Alieke via Instagram on Monday.
“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote.
Darlington popularly known as Akpi was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State.
