The Nigerian police have detained a singer, comedian and content creator, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, over alleged cyberstalking of fellow musician, Damini Ogulu, more commonly known as Burna Boy.
SaharaReporters learnt on Tuesday that Speed Darlington was arrested last week Friday by the police who detained him at the notorious centre of the IGP's Intelligence Response Team in the Guzape area of Abuja.

Speed was arrested in Lagos and tossed around many police formations in Lagos before he was taken to detention in Abuja by the IRT team who accused him of cyberstalking Burna Boy.
Adeyanju noted that there was nothing to the petition to warrant Darlington's arrest.
“I have met Speed Darlington” and he’s in good spirits, we are working to get him released on bail as soon as possible," Adeyanju added.
A police ACP investigating the case told Adeyanju that the police could not release a copy of the petition to him but he let the lawyer read and digest the content.
The mother of controversial singer, Speed Darlington, known as Queen, had earlier alleged that Burna Boy and his team were responsible for her son’s disappearance.
In a video message, Queen narrated how her son’s gateman informed her that Speed Darlington was taken away by Burna Boy and his team.
Queen had emotionally begged Burna Boy to release her son, kneeling down in the video to show her desperation.
This plea comes after Speed Darlington was declared missing.
“Nigerians please come and help me, my son Speed Darlington has been missing for over 4 days now, after he made a video about Burna Boy and Diddy.
“Burna Boy came to his house with his 7 Squad and Police and they arrested Akpi, please nigerians Akpi is my only son, please Nigerians help me and beg Burna Boy to release My son,” she said.
