Speed Darlington Alleges That His Phone Is Still In The Hands Of The Abuja Police Days After Regaining Freedom
Controversial Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has accused the Nigeria Police in Abuja of holding onto his phone despite his release from prison.
Recall that Speed Darlington sparked uproar on social media when he shared a video holding a baby oil, and insinuated that Burna Boy was involved romantically with embattled American rapper, Diddy. He further suggested that Burna Boy's relationship with Diddy made him win the Grammys.
In response, Burna Boy had the singer locked up for days in prison, before the intervention of human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju.
In a new development, the singer claimed that days after his release from prison, his phone is not yet in his possession. He noted that he is currently in America, and the police should release his phone.
In addition, he noted that he would have mentioned the name of the police officer in custody of his phone, but he would be asked to return to Abuja for questioning. He threatened to change it for the police, if his phone is not released soon.
He further threatened the Nigerian police force to file a lawsuit, and he would defend it himself, since there is nothing in Nigeria law that speaks against Cyberstalking, alluding to his arrest by Burna Boy.
"The police in Abuja haven’t given me my phone. I am currently in America. Make una give me my phone na. Una go dey wonder why different groups dey start all over Nigeria, some people want Oduduwa, some want Biafra, its because Nigeria is a shit hole. If I call the officer’s name, they go say, make I come Abuja come give a statement. I don dey respect una now, una no wan give me my phone. I fit change am for una, I no dey come again and would continue blasting you all. Make una give me my phone wetin be all this one, shebi dem don release me from detention.
If una wan file criminal lawsuit, make una go on na, I will come court come to defend myself. After all, there is nothing in the law book, according to my lawyer, that says there is anything like cyberstalking in Nigeria."
