Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, has finally regained his freedom.
Disclosing this on Tuesday, activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju said Darlington, also referred to as Akpi, has left Kuje Prison.
Posting on X, Adeyanju wrote: “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
Recently, an Abuja court granted Speed Darlington bail.
This followed the Nigeria Police Force yielding to pressure and arraigning him in court.
Okoye had earlier petitioned DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja, over his continued detention.
In his petition, Okoye urged the DIG to comply with a court order challenging his prolonged detention by the police.
The controversial singer had been arrested after accusing Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy of having an immoral relationship with embattled United States rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
However, Justice M.S. Liman, in an order issued on December 23, 2024, directed the police to either charge Okoye in court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
Iconic Nigerian actor, Olu Jacob has been embarked on his final earthly journey.
He was buried at a private cemetery in Lagos on Friday October 2, 2026 after a funeral service.
The funeral service which was attended by actors and other public figures was held at Freedom Center, Lekki Phase 1 area of Lagos State.
Recall that the 84-year-old died September 16, 2026 after a long battle with Dementia with Lewy bodies, DLB.
Among those in attendance were the Lagos State Deputy governor, Obafemi Hamzat; former governor of Ogun State, Ibikunle Amosun; Lagos State First Lady, Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu; former first lady of Ekiti State, Bisi Fayemi and Hannatu Musawa, the Minister of Art, Culture, and the Creative Economy.
Celebrities at the event include singer Dare Art Alade, Richard Mofe-Damijo, Kate Henshaw, Toyosi Adesanya, Ruth Kadiri, Stan Eze, Blessing Obasi, Rita Dominic, Ebele Okaro, Shaffy Bello, Hilda Dokubo, Ireti Doyle and Segun Arinze among others.
Phyna has just knocked out Nkechi Blessing in Round 4 at the Chaos in the Ring celebrity boxing match in Lagos.
Phyna, whose real name is Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, stopped Nkechi Blessing in their scheduled four-round celebrity contest at the Federal Palace Hotel, Victoria Island. After the fight, the former Big Brother Naija winner named Nollywood actress, Etinosa Idemudia, as her next target, claiming that she had been disturbing her through her direct messages (DMs).
Etinosa accepted the challenge, setting up the possibility of another celebrity boxing contest. Phyna also announced that she intends to pursue professional boxing, indicating that her appearance against Nkechi could be the beginning of a longer career in the sport.
