Controversial media figure and musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been granted bail and released from police custody after fulfilling his bail conditions.

The news of his release was confirmed on Tuesday by prominent human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, via his social media account.

Darlington’s arrest stemmed from a formal complaint filed by Grammy award-winning artist, Burna Boy, who accused Darlington of defamation and cyberstalking.

The dispute began after Darlington, in a widely circulated video, publicly questioned Burna Boy’s Grammy win for his album Twice As Tall.

In the video, Darlington insinuated that Burna Boy’s connection with US rapper and producer Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs played a significant role in his Grammy success.

Diddy, who collaborated on the album, has been facing multiple legal accusations, including sexual exploitation and human trafficking, which Darlington also referenced in his remarks.

Following this online confrontation, Darlington was quietly arrested in Lagos last Friday.

He was subsequently transferred to Abuja, where he remained in police detention.

However, after meeting the necessary legal conditions, Darlington was released from custody, drawing attention to the case and its underlying issues.

Deji Adeyanju, who has been actively involved in the situation, expressed his gratitude to everyone who contributed to Darlington’s release.

He praised those who raised their voices in support of the musician, including fellow activist Omoyele Sowore and senior lawyer Stanley Alieke.

Adeyanju also extended his appreciation to Professor Sanusi and the team at the Intelligence Response Team (IRT) for handling the case with professionalism throughout the process.

The case has generated considerable public interest, not only because of Darlington’s controversial statements but also due to the involvement of high-profile figures like Burna Boy and Diddy.

Fans and followers of both artists are keeping a close eye on any further developments, as the matter may highlight broader issues around defamation, cyberstalking, and the power of social media in shaping public narratives.
