Nigerian entertainer Speed Darlington was arrested again by police in Owerri during a show. His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the incident but did not provide specific details about the charges. This follows a prior arrest related to defamation and cyberstalking allegations involving Burna Boy. Despite public appeals and a prior release, Darlington had resumed controversial remarks about the artist.
Nigerian musician Speed Darlington, also known as AKPI, has been arrested once again, just two months after his release on bail. Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju confirmed the arrest on November 27, 2024, during Speed Darlington’s show in Owerri, Imo State. The specific charges behind the arrest have not yet been disclosed.
This development follows his October 4, 2024, arrest for releasing a controversial video allegedly mocking Burna Boy and linking him to legal issues involving American rapper Diddy. Darlington previously accused the police of violating his rights during his earlier detention, claiming he was held for four days without access to legal counsel or family.
