Popular Nigerian singer, Darlington Achakpo aka Speed Darlington, who was detained for allegedly defaming his senior colleague, Burna Boy has been released.
His lawyer, Stan Alieke, who announced this on social media on Tuesday evening, wrote;
“Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration.
For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human right which was deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force and for the unfair/ unjust treatment he was subjected to.
Mr Achakpo extends his gratitude to everyone who threw in their support and Special thanks to my colleagues, Mr Marshal Abubakar Esq, Barr Deji Adeyanju, Barr Hamza Nuh, Barr David.
~ Freedom cometh by struggle.”
Speed had been in police detention since November 2024 after allegedly jumping bail.
He is currently being investigated by the police after his colleague, Burnaboy, petitioned the police claiming he defamed his person in a video he released last December insinuating the singer won a Grammy award after ‘’bending down” for Diddy.
