The news as it trends.
Speed Darlington, whose birth name is Darlington Achakpo, is a contentious Nigerian musician recognized for his candid and frequently inflammatory conduct.
He recently found himself embroiled in a legal dispute, facing allegations of cybercrime, particularly defamation and cyberstalking.
It is claimed that he made slanderous remarks about Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy, resulting in his arrest and subsequent detention.
Darlington has announced his intention to seek N300 million in compensation from the Nigeria Police, asserting that his human rights have been violated.
He was initially incarcerated for defamation and related offenses. Following his recent release from Kuje Prison, he expressed gratitude to his lawyer, Mazi David Ihuoma, for his steadfast support throughout his two-month imprisonment.
In a widely circulated video on social media, Speed Darlington recounted his experiences in Kuje Prison and the intricacies of the Nigerian criminal justice system.
He pointed out that although a court had granted him bail, he remained in custody due to alleged interference from powerful individuals associated with his case.
The artist reaffirmed his determination to pursue justice, declaring, “I will stop at nothing to obtain my N300 million compensation for the violation of my rights.”
