Burna Boy: Police Release Speed Darlington.

Darlington Okoye, often known as Speed Darlington, is a controversial media personality who has been released on bail from police custody.

Darlington was released after completing his bail conditions on Tuesday.

This was revealed by human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju on his X page.

According to Adeyanju, Darlington was seized in Lagos last Friday and then brought to Abuja, where he was jailed after Burna Boy submitted an official complaint.

Burna Boy accused Darlington of defamation and cyberstalking him.

Darlington asked Burna Boy to explain how he got the Grammy for his album 'Twice As Tall' in a viral video, mocking his association with the disgraced US rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who is facing various counts of sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

After his remark, Darlington was quietly picked up by the police

Adeyanju, on the other hand, thanked those who helped the singer get released and praised the IRT department's police officers for their professionalism.


"Special thanks to #YeleSowore, very dependable senior lawyer #stanalieke, and all Nigerians for advocating for Speed Darlington. Must also thank Prof Sanusi and his team at IRT for their professionalism today," he said.
