Human rights lawyer and popular influencer, Deji Adeyanju has said all efforts to get singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington out of the police custody have so far proved abortive.
The controversial artiste was rearrested by police officers on Tuesday during his show in Owerri, the Imo State capital for allegedly cyberstalking his colleague, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy.
Speaking on the development via his official Facebook page on Wednesday night, Darlington’s lawyer, Adeyanju intimates the public that the Nigerian Police Force transferred his client from Owerri to the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

He went on to say the security agency also refused to release the singer on bail.
Speaking via his verified social media page, Adeyanju wrote, “The Nigerian police brought our client Speed Darlington to Abuja from Owerri this evening and I just met him.
“They have refused to release him on bail over defamation of Burna Boy. Burna Boy, the Ojuelegba Fela sings about oppression but oppresses Akpi with the police”.
