Rapper Speed Darlington, whose real name is Darlington Achakpo, has been granted bail after spending nearly a month in police custody.

His counsel, Stanley Alieke, shared the update on Instagram, stating that the court has granted Speed Darlington bail.

“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote without including much information.

The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State, due to alleged abuse of Afrofusion star Burna Boy.

Despite the challenges, Speed Darlington’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, had earlier stated that the singer would be arraigned within 48 hours or released on bail. 

“Our FREP application for Speed Darlington a.k.a has been granted by the court. He is to be arraigned within 48 hours or released. Issues around injustice may take time but justice will always prevail,” he wrote.
