Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju has revealed that his attempt to secure the release of singer Darlington Okoye, better known as Speed Darlington, from police custody was unsuccessful.
As previously reported by DAILY POST, the singer was rearrested by the police on Tuesday during a performance in Owerri, Imo State, for allegedly cyberstalking his fellow artist, Damini Ogulu, also known as Burna Boy.
In an update posted on his official Facebook page late Wednesday, Adeyanju confirmed that the police had refused to grant Speed Darlington bail.
He wrote, “The Nigerian police brought our client Speed Darlington to Abuja from Owerri this evening and I just met him.
“They have refused to release him on bail over defamation of Burna Boy. Burna Boy, the Ojuelegba Fela sings about oppression but oppresses Akpi with the police”.
