Controversial Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has finally regained his freedom from prison.

The Nigerian Voice recalls 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. Speed Darlington's action led to his arrest by the Nigerian Police Force.

Surprisingly, despite the court's order for the release of Speed Darlington from prison, he has remained in detention, and this has sparked different debates among many Nigerians.

Taking to his Instagram page some hours ago, Speed's Darlington lawyer, Stan Alieke announced that the singer has been released from prison after two months of illegal incarceration.

Stan Alieke wrote on Instagram:
"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 Nigeria 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.
