Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Achakpo Okoye, known as Speed Darlington or Akpi, has broken his silence with a cryptic message.
Darlington was released on Tuesday after he was detained by the police for accusing Burna Boy of allegedly engaging in an inappropriate relationship with embattled American rapper and music executive Diddy.
Taking to his Instagram page on Thursday, January 23, 2025, AKPI posted a video of two bulls and captioned it simply, “I am back!”
In the video, he can be heard saying,
“Two bulls fighting. One steps back. It’s not running away. It went back to gather energy and launch back with banger.”
In a follow-up post, Speed Darlington posted a picture of a legal practitioner Mazi David Ihuoma Esq. appreciating him for his support.
The singer then hinted at an upcoming legal battle with Ihuoma on his team as his defence counsel.
In his words, “Thank you đđż Mazi David Ihuoma Esq. We going all the way! They must pay me for violating my human rights 300 million naira. We will drag them more than Stanley and I dragged that bank that violated me two years ago.”
Recall that Speed Darlington recently regained his freedom after almost two months in Kuje prison.
This was after he was admitted to a twenty million naira bail last Wednesday by a federal high court in Abuja.
Confirming his release, the singer’s lawyer Stan Alieke shared photos with Darlington on Instagram.
Alieke said Darlingtonâs legal representatives would be seeking redress against the Nigerian police following their clientâs âillegal incarcerationâ.
Darlington was re-arrested on November 27, 2024, while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State. The âBangdadangâ crooner was accused of cyberstalking Grammy award-winning musician, Burna Boy.
