Human right activist/legal practitioner, Deji Adeyanju, has accused Grammy Award winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy of being responsible for Speed Darlington’s re-Arrest.
This was contained in a post on his X handle.
“Burna Boy behind harassment of Speed Darlington by the police. This is someone who has being singing against oppression and forming junior Fela now oppressing Akpi,” Adeyanju wrote on X.
After he was released from detention the first time, Speed Darlington released a video in which he bragged about not being humbled despite getting arrested. He added that people should not mistake his silence for humility.
“What doesn’t kill me can only make me stronger. I am stronger now. Seventeen arrests in the USA plus this one, eighteen . I am stronger. I have been through the bottomless pit.”
While the reasons for this new arrest are yet to be disclosed, Deji lets us know that the controversial artist is currently in police custody. He also added that the arrest occurred during the singer’s show in Owerri upon his return to Nigeria.
This latest arrest comes as a surprise to many who believe that Speed Darlington has ended all ongoing rift with his detractors. It appears that the singer still has scores to settle as this incident is within a brief period of his previous arrest which is barely two months ago.
Recall that he was arrested on October 4th after he put out a controversial video in which he allegedly mocked his colleague Burna Boy, associating him with American rapper Diddy, who has faced legal issues with the FBI over charges of immoral exploitation.
On October 17, 2024, a viral clip was sighted online in which the musician detailed his experience in police custody, alleging that his rights were violated.
