Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy has reacted to the recent release of Speed Darlington, a controversial Nigerian singer, with a cryptic post.
TheNewsGuru reports that Darlington was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State, over allegations of cyberstalking Grammy award-winning musician Burna Boy.
The singer’s detention comes after his colleague Burna Boy filed a petition against him, for using social media to question the authenticity of his Grammy award, linking the A-list artiste to embattled music mogul Sean Combs, known as P Diddy or Puff Daddy.
He suggested that Burna Boy may have had a sexual relationship with the American music executive.
However, Darlington’s lawyer, Stan Alieke on Tuesday evening, announced his release via Instagram, with photos of the singers.
Alieke expressed the legal team’s commitment to seek justice for Darlington, while claiming his client’s fundamental human rights had been violated by the Nigeria Police Force.
“We will ensure Darlington gets justice for his fundamental human rights, which were deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force.
“Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration,” he wrote.
“For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human right which was deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force and for the unfair/ unjust treatment he was subjected to,” Alieke wrote.
In a now-deleted post via his Instagram story, Burna Boy on Wednesday issued a cautionary warning, although he did not mention names, he noted that there would be any leniency if such a situation surfaces again.
“If you like misbehave again, you will go back to where you come from! And this time around, there will be no mercy! Don’t mess with ODG,” he wrote,
