Nigerian artist Speed Darlington, whose real name is Darlington Okoye, has been released from Kuje Prison. This news was confirmed by activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju on Tuesday, who shared the update on X, saying, “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
The singer, also known as Akpi, had been granted bail by an Abuja court recently.This development came after the Nigeria Police Force, under pressure, finally arraigned him in court.
Okoye had been detained for accusing Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy of having an improper relationship with American rapper and music mogul P. Diddy. During his detention, Okoye wrote a petition to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, calling for the enforcement of a court order regarding his prolonged detention.
