Deji Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, claims that his efforts to get singer Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, released from the custody of the Nigeria Police Force were unsuccessful.
The musician was detained again on Tuesday at a gig in Owerri, Imo State’s capital, for reportedly cyberstalking his colleague, Damini Ogulu, nicknamed Burna Boy.
Adeyanju, the singer’s lawyer, stated on his official Facebook page on Wednesday night that the police had refused to release him on bond.
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”.
