Speed Darlington narrates how he was rearrested for the 2nd time, shares video

Nigerian rapper Darlington Okoye aka Speed Darlington opened up to his fans and followers on the shocking experience he faced during his re-arrest.

Recall that the singer was arrested for the second time after allegedly defaming his colleague Burna Boy and the singer’s relationship with American rapper Diddy.

The Cash and Carry singer in a series of videos alleged that Burna Boy paid a price for his Grammy award in 2021, following the numerous legal cases that embattled rapper Diddy, who co-supervised Burna Boy’s album, is facing in the US.

Shortly after he was released from the first arrest, the controversial act went on to drop a create a new song Baby Oil accompanied by a music video.

It was reported that the second arrest took place in Owerri, Imo state. Speed Darlington was said to have been performing at an event before the uniformed men picked him up.

Recounting how it happened, Akpi as he is fondly called by fans claimed that 2 groups of police squad hijacked him while he was leaving the premises.

The rapper mentioned that he had thought his host sent the police officers to see him off to his hotel room.

It wasn’t until 12 seconds into the stampede that he realised he had been arrested. He went on to bemoan the 2 months he has been away.

Sharing a clip from his last show prior to the arrest, he wrote: “After I measured this booty right there in Owerri, 30 minutes later I came outside to go back to hotel because my obligation to the host has been fulfilled that’s when two squads of police rushed me and ruffle me up. The whole time I thought my host is trying to make me special by giving me esccort to my hotel from the venue since he was unable to provide it from hotel to the venue.. it took like 12 seconds or more before I realised that I’m on under arrest just like that I was gone for two months.”
