Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been arrested.
OsunDailyNG reports that Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the musician’s arrest in a post via his Facebook page.
He said the Nigerian police arrested Darlington in Owerri, Imo State, on his return to Nigeria for a show.
However, the reasons for Speed Darlington’s arrest remain unclear.
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.”
Recall that the Nigerian police detained Darlington over the alleged cyberstalking of his colleague, Damini Ogulu, more commonly known as Burna Boy.
In other news, Nigerian Afrobeats singer, Tiwa Savage, has asserted that hardship in the country is responsible for the huge amount of entertainers being churning out.
OsunDailyNG reports that the singer made this known during an interview on the ‘Shopping The Sneakers’ podcast.
According to Tiwa Savage, serving in Nigeria is difficult, and artists are just like hustlers.
She said, “When you come to Nigeria, you will understand why we breed so many superstars. To survive in Nigeria is something else so that’s why the artists that come out of Nigeria are just like hustlers. They are just hustling.”
