BREAKING: At Last, Speed Darlington Regain Freedom From Kuje Prison—-Nigerian Controversial singer Darlington Okoye, also known as Speed Darlington, has finally regained his freedom.
The Genius Media Nigeria reports that this was disclosed on Tuesday by activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju saying that Darlington, also referred to as Akpi, has left Kuje Prison.

“Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
Recently, an Abuja court granted Speed Darlington bail.
This followed the Nigeria Police Force yielding to pressure and arraigning him in court.
Okoye had earlier petitioned DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, the Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, Abuja, over his continued detention.
In his petition, Okoye urged the DIG to comply with a court order challenging his prolonged detention by the police.
The controversial singer had been arrested after accusing Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy of having an immoral relationship with embattled United States rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
However, Justice M.S. Liman, in an order issued on December 23, 2024, directed the police to either charge Okoye in court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
