Recall that in a previous post, Hitgist reported that court granted Speed bail application. The Federal High Court in Abuja granted him a N20 million bail.
His lawyer, Stan Alieke, who announced this on social media this evening wrote;
“Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration. 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. Mr Achakpo extends his gratitude to everyone who threw in their support and Special thanks to my colleagues, Mr Marshal Abubakar Esq, Barr Deji Adeyanju, Barr Hamza Nuh, Barr David. ~ Freedom cometh by struggle.”
The controversial singer was arrested after alleging that Grammy Award-winning artist Burna Boy had an improper relationship with embattled U.S. rapper and music executive Sean Combs, aka P. Diddy.
However, on December 23, 2024, Justice M.S. Liman ordered the police to either charge Okoye in court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
