- Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, has been arrested by Nigerian Police Force officers just two months after his release.

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have apprehended Nigerian musician Darlington Okoye, widely recognized as Speed Darlington, just two months after his previous release.
According to GistLover, the artist, also referred to as Akpi, was taken into custody on October 4, following the publication of a controversial video in which he purportedly ridiculed his fellow artist Burna Boy for his connection with American rapper Diddy, who is currently embroiled in legal troubles with the FBI concerning allegations of sexual exploitation.
The outspoken artist was subsequently granted bail on October 9, after spending five days in custody.
His attorney, Deji Adeyanju, announced the recent arrest on Wednesday through a post on his official Facebook page.
He stated, “Our client Speed Darlington, a.k.a AKPI has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”
Attempts made to contact the Nigeria Police Force regarding this incident were unsuccessful, as the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, did not respond to calls.
