Nigerian Musician, popularly known as Speed Darlington has finally been arraigned to court by the Nigerian Police, with bail application moved and granted.
The news was disclosed by the singer’s legal counsel, Comrade Deji Adeyanju on his X page @adeyanjudeji on Wednesday morning.
The post reads:
“BREAKING: Police finally arraigns Speed Darlington in court. Bail application moved and granted. We are trying to perfect same.”
Recall that Igbo Tv had reported the arrest and detainment of Speed Darlington by the Nigerian Police in Owerri for alleged defamation of Nigerian Grammy-Award winning singer Burna Boy.

Speed Darlington was first arrested in October, and later in November 2024 while performing at a show in Owerri, and has since been in Police custody, despite the court giving order for his immediate release in December 2024.
His counsels had continued to disclose information about Akpi’s condition in police custody, plus how he was being remanded in a SAZ prison facility with hardened criminals and Boko Haram.
They both accused Burna Boy of using his influence to oppress and victimize their client, without due recourse for justice.
