Human rights lawyer Deji Adeyanju has revealed his unsuccessful attempt to secure the release of singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, who is in police custody.

The singer was reportedly transferred from Owerri, the Imo State capital, to Abuja on Tuesday after being rearrested by the Nigeria Police Force.

Speed Darlington’s latest troubles stem from allegations of cyberstalking and defamation involving Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu.

Burna Boy, a Grammy-winning artist often regarded as one of the leading figures in Afrobeats, has been a source of inspiration to many but is now at the center of this legal controversy.

The allegations suggest that Speed Darlington made online statements that were perceived as defamatory toward Burna Boy, leading to the police action.

Adeyanju, known for his advocacy and bold stance on human rights issues, shared an update about the case on his official Facebook page on Wednesday night.

He confirmed meeting Speed Darlington in Abuja after the police moved him from Owerri.

However, his attempts to secure bail for the artist were unsuccessful.

He expressed his frustration with the situation, pointing out what he described as a contradiction in Burna Boy’s image.

Adeyanju noted that Burna Boy often portrays himself as a voice for the oppressed, referencing his music that highlights social issues and injustice.

Yet, according to Adeyanju, the artist appears to be using his influence to push for legal actions that could silence Speed Darlington.

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 allegations of defamation against Burna Boy.

Burna Boy, who sings about oppression in his songs, is now using the police to oppress Akpi [Speed Darlington].”

July 2025 is hoping to be packed with fresh Korean dramas and one huge fantasy movie fans have been waiting for. From intense legal stories to treasure hunts and even a world-ending fight for survival, there’s a lot dropping this month. Here’s the list.

Law and the City – Premieres July 5

If you love dramas with smart lawyers, friendship, and real-life struggles, this one’s for you. Law and the City follows five young lawyers working in the heart of Seoul. They’re all trying to make a name for themselves in the crazy world of law while dealing with their own personal drama behind the scenes.

Big names like Lee Jong-suk and Moon Ga-young lead the cast. It’s Lee Jong-suk’s first big role since his military service, and fans are hyped to see him back. Expect plenty of courtroom tension, late-night office talks, and that classic friends-turn-family vibe.

Catch it every Saturday and Sunday on tvN, with global viewers able to stream it on Disney+.

Low Life – Premieres July 16

Next up is Low Life, a gritty crime drama with a bit of humor mixed in. Set in the 1970s, it follows a street-smart con artist, Oh Gwan-seok, and his clueless nephew, Oh Hee-dong, as they chase after a hidden treasure. But this isn’t your typical treasure hunt, there’s betrayal, old-school gangster action, and lots of crazy twists.
