The police in Owerri, Imo State, have arrested a Nigerian musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, again.

Deji Adeyanju, a human rights lawyer who has been representing the singer,confirmed the development in a post on his official X page on Wednesday.

Adeyanju said Darlington was arrested while performing at a show in Owerri, days after returning to the country earlier in the week.

He wrote, “Our client, Speed Darlington, a.k.a AKPI, has been arrested by the Nigeria Police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”

However, the reason for the singer’s arrest remains unclear at the time of filing this report.

It would be recalled that Darlington was recently arrested over alleged cyberstalking of a fellow musician, Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy.

The police picked him up in Lagos and transferred him to Abuja before being detained by the IGP’s Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.

He was released on bail days later.
