Nigerian singer Speed Darlington, popularly known as Akpi, has been released after spending two months in police custody.

The singer was arrested on November 27, 2024, during a performance in Owerri, Imo State, over allegations of cyberstalking Burna Boy.

Darlington had publicly taunted Burna Boy over his affiliation with US rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who is facing multiple charges, including sexual exploitation and human trafficking.

He had also questioned the legitimacy of Burna Boy’s Grammy win for his album Twice As Tall, alleging inappropriate relations between Burna Boy and Diddy, the album’s executive producer.

On Tuesday evening, Darlington’s lawyer, Stan Alieke, announced the singer’s release via Instagram, sharing photos of him and vowing to seek justice for the alleged infringement of his rights.

“Delighted to announce that our client, Mr. Darlington Achakpo, aka Speed Darlington (Akpi), has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration,” Alieke wrote.

He further stated, “For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human rights, which were deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force, and for the unfair and unjust treatment he was subjected to.”
