Speed Darlington Released From Kuje Prison After Court Order
Controversial Nigerian singer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington or Akpi, has been released from Kuje Prison following a court directive.
Activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju disclosed this development on Tuesday, stating on X (formerly Twitter), “Speed Darlington is out of Kuje Prison.”
The singer’s release came after an Abuja court granted him bail. This decision followed intense public pressure on the Nigeria Police Force, which led to his arraignment.

Prior to his release, Speed Darlington had petitioned Deputy Inspector-General of Police, Force Intelligence Bureau, DIG Dasuki Galadanchi, over his prolonged detention. He called on the DIG to comply with a court order directing his release or formal arraignment.
Justice M.S. Liman had earlier issued an order on December 23, 2024, mandating the police to charge the singer within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
Speed Darlington’s arrest stemmed from allegations he made against Grammy Award-winning singer Burna Boy. The singer accused Burna Boy of being involved in an immoral relationship with embattled U.S. rapper and music executive Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
The situation has sparked widespread discussions, with many Nigerians expressing relief at Speed Darlington’s freedom while others continue to debate the circumstances surrounding his arrest.

Ada La Pinky, who is known for her confidence and bold personality, also addressed her views on body image. She stated that she is comfortable in her skin and unbothered by comparisons. “I don’t get intimidated by that at all because I know my body is pretty, and if it gets bad, I will get it done. One should get one’s body done if one feels uncomfortable,” she said.
On the subject of Nollywood and its representation of nudity and sex scenes, Ada La Pinky had positive remarks. She said, “Nollywood is doing an amazing job, and the actresses are all ‘fire.’ I don’t think they represent just being sexy. We have different types of movies that are not based on nudity, just the same way we have them in Hollywood.”
The media personality also shared how her presence inspires others to embrace their bodies confidently. “There are people who tell me that they love my boobs and that it’s because of me, they can wear sexy clothes to showcase their boobs and body. My advice to anybody is that they should wear whatever they are comfortable in,” she advised.
Ada La Pinky continues to make her mark as a vibrant and unapologetically bold figure in the entertainment industry.
