Just in: Police relocate Speed Darlington to Abuja to inflict more pain on him

The Nigeria Police Force has moved musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington “Akpi” from Owerri, Imo State, to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, in a plot to inflict more punishment on the musician.
Ibom Focus learnt on Wednesday that Darlington is being moved to the police Force Intelligence Department (FID) from Owerri.
Top sources also revealed that Dasuki Galadanchi, the Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) in charge of FID had personally taken over Darlington’s case files from the police unit that arrested him before.
“Speed Darlington is being moved to Abuja. He is being prosecuted by DIG Dasuki Galadanchi who said his (Darlington) punishment was too short before they granted him bail the last time,” a top source revealed.
“The DIG personally took over his case files from the police department that arrested him and initially detained him in Abuja,” another competent source corroborated.
It was earlier reported that human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed that Nigerian music star, Damini Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, was behind the Tuesday’s police harassment and arrest of his client, Darlington “Akpi” in Owerri, Imo State.
Adeyanju, who made the confirmation in a post on his social media handle, had berated Burna Boy for having been producing songs against oppression but suddenly turning into an oppressor of Speed Darlington.
The lawyer had written, “Burna Boy behind harassment of Speed Darlington by the police. This is someone who has been singing against oppression and forming junior Fela now oppressing Akpi.”
Ibom Focus earlier reported that Adeyanju had confirmed Speed Darlington’s arrest in a statement posted on his official Facebook page.
Adeyanju wrote, “Our client Speed Darlington a.k.a AKPI has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”
He added that Darlington’s arrest occurred during his return to Nigeria for a show.
However, the reasons for the Darlington arrest remained unclear.
Meanwhile, Ibom Focus recently reported that the Nigerian police detained Darlington over alleged cyberstalking of Burna Boy.
Ibom Focus had reported that Speed Darlington was arrested and detained at the notorious centre of the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.
The musician was then visited by Adeyanju who also told SaharaReporters that he had seen a petition written against Darlington by afrobeat musician, Burna Boy.
Darlington had been arrested in Lagos and tossed around many police formations in Lagos before he was taken to detention in Abuja by the IRT team who accused him of cyberstalking Burna Boy.
Adeyanju had noted that there was nothing to the petition to warrant Darlington’s arrest.
“I have met Speed Darlington” and he’s in good spirits, we are working to get him released on bail as soon as possible,” Adeyanju had added.
The police ACP investigating the case had told Adeyanju that the police could not release a copy of the petition to him but he let the lawyer read and digest the content.

May Edochie’s laywer explains her co-parenting with Yul, clarifies Judy Austin’s role

Emeka Ugwuonye, the legal representative of May Edochie, has addressed the co-parenting arrangement between May Edochie and her estranged husband, Yul Edochie.
In a recent Instagram post, Ugwuonye emphasised that co-parenting is not just a moral obligation but a legal requirement for the estranged couple, given their shared children.
According to the lawyer, effective co-parenting demands cooperation and communication between May and Yul Edochie, despite their personal differences.
He revealed that the couple is co parenting effectively, stating that Yul is providing financial support for the children’s education and having unrestricted access to them.
Ugwuonye attributed the negative online reactions to ignorance about what co-parenting entails, stressing that both May and Yul have no choice but to work together for the sake of their children, as it is a legal requirement.
He also addressed speculations about Judy Austin’s involvement in the children’s lives, stating that she has no legal relationship with them currently. However, if she marries Yul, she would become the children’s stepmother.
The lawyer concluded by dismissing public opinion as irrelevant, emphasising that the law governs co-parenting arrangements, not public perception.
“Yes, May and Yul have children together. They will co-parent. Why is that driving anybody crazy? Yul and May are already co-parenting right now, that is the only way it can work. Yul is contributing to the children’s school fees and supporting them as well, so he has unlimited access to the kids. That is what co-parenting entails. If they do not speak to each other, they cannot co-parent effectively.
“Because many of the supporters on both sides are ignorant, they do not understand the fact that both May and Yul have no other choice over the matter: they have to co-parent.
“Now, as for Judy, she is not in any legal relationship with May’s children. There is no basis for any cooperation between May and Judy. However, if Judy eventually gets married to Yul, that will make her a stepmother to May’s children with Yul.”
