Darlington Achakpo, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been granted bail after being detained for days in Abuja. The comic singer was arrested at his Lagos residence and taken to Abuja over allegations of cyberbullying, stemming from a video he made about Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy.
Details of the Incident
The arrest followed a controversial video posted by Speed Darlington in which he insinuated that Burna Boy had questionable dealings with American music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. This allegation arose after reports of Diddy being involved in alleged sex trafficking, and the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil in his apartment further fueled the speculation.
Burna Boy’s Response
Burna Boy, feeling targeted by Speed Darlington’s comments, reportedly filed a formal petition accusing Darlington of cyberbullying. This petition led to Darlington’s arrest and subsequent detention in Abuja.
Legal Intervention and Release
Stan Alieke, Speed Darlington’s legal representative, announced his client’s release on bail on October 8, 2024. The lawyer shared a video showing Darlington moments after regaining his freedom. Though details of the bail conditions were not disclosed, Darlington’s release marks a significant step in the ongoing legal situation.
Next Steps
While Speed Darlington has been released, it remains unclear whether the case has been officially closed or if further legal proceedings will follow. Fans and followers are eagerly awaiting updates on how the situation will unfold between the two artists.
