Speed Darlington Released On Bail After Burna Boy’s Cyberstalking Petition
Controversial Nigerian singer and comedian, Darlington Okoye, widely known as Speed Darlington, has been released on bail following his arrest and detention. The arrest came after a petition by afrobeat star Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, who accused Speed Darlington of cyberstalking.
Darlington, also known by his stage name “Akpi,” was released after meeting the bail conditions set by the police at the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team’s (IRT) office in Guzape, Abuja. The musician’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed his release.
Speed Darlington had been arrested in Lagos last Friday, then transferred to various police units in the state, and eventually detained in Abuja by the IRT on cyberstalking charges. Adeyanju revealed that after reviewing Burna Boy’s petition, there appeared to be no concrete justification for Darlington’s arrest. Despite not being given a copy of the petition, Adeyanju was allowed to read and understand its contents.
Darlington’s mother, referred to as Queen, had raised alarm over her son’s disappearance, accusing Burna Boy and his team of orchestrating the arrest. In a tearful video appeal, she pleaded for his release, claiming her son had been missing for days after making a video mentioning Burna Boy and Diddy.
Speed Darlington’s detention and subsequent release have sparked widespread reactions, especially on social media, with supporters calling for transparency in the case.

A TikToker, Ojesanmi Afeez, popularly known as Salo, has been reportedly robbed and shot in the Lekki area of Lagos State.
This was made known in the late hours of Thursday by another TikToker, Tunde Perry, who often joins him in his live streams on the app.
According to Perry, the content creator is currently fighting for his life at Perez Medcare Hospital, Lekki Phase 2 after he was shot in the leg by assailants who robbed him of his gold chain.
Perry said, “They have shot Salo in the leg. They have also stolen his gold chain at one filling station in Lekki. Some boys just rushed him to the hospital and I have gone there now.”
A trending video also showed Salo’s white AMG GLE 43 Mercedes Benz car stained with blood with a case of bullet on the driver seat of the vehicle.
An eyewitness who is privy to the matter but craved anonymity narrated that Salo’s condition is critical, adding, “When I got to the hospital, I was not allowed to enter, the nurse just said we should keep praying for him because his condition is critical.
“We don’t know who he offended. Just like he might not know too. You cannot be wiser and tricky than the person watching you. I just advise him to be careful if he eventually survives this.”
