Controversial Nigerian musician, Darlington Achakpo Okoye, widely known as Speed Darlington or AKPI, has made a cryptic return, sending a strong message.
On Thursday, January 23, 2025, AKPI posted a video on his Instagram featuring two bulls fighting, with the simple caption, “I am back!” In the clip, he can be heard saying.
“Two bulls fighting. One steps back. It’s not running away. It went back to gather energy and launch back with a banger.”
In a follow-up post, Speed Darlington shared a picture of legal practitioner Mazi David Ihuoma Esq., thanking him for his support. He also hinted at an impending legal battle, with Ihuoma on his team as defense counsel.
Darlington wrote”Thank you 🙏🏿 Mazi David Ihuoma Esq. We going all the way! They must pay me for violating my human rights—300 million naira. We will drag them more than Stanley and I dragged that bank that violated me two years ago.”
It’s worth noting that Speed Darlington was recently released after nearly two months in Kuje prison, following his admission to a 20 million naira bail last Wednesday by a Federal High Court in Abuja.
His lawyer, Stan Alieke, posted photos with Darlington on Instagram, confirming his release and stating that they would be seeking redress against the Nigerian police for what they termed his “illegal incarceration.”
Darlington had been re-arrested on November 27, 2024, while performing in Owerri, Imo State, on charges of cyberstalking Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy.
