Controversial media personality, Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, has been released on bail from police custody.

Darlington was released after meeting his bail conditions on Tuesday.

This was disclosed by human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju via his X page.

Adeyanju appreciated those who contributed to the singer’s release and commended the police in the IRT department for their professionalism.

“Special appreciation to #YeleSowore, super reliable senior lawyer #stanalieke, and to all Nigerians for raising their voice for Speed Darlington. Must also appreciate Prof Sanusi and his team at IRT for their professionalism today,” he wrote.

Adeyanju had earlier informed that Darlington was arrested in Lagos last Friday and then transferred to Abuja, where he was detained following a formal complaint filed by Burna Boy.

Burna Boy accused Darlington of defaming and cyberstalking him.
