An American-based Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye’s lawyer has accused the police of illegally detaining his client.
Deji Adeyanju stated that the police have not released the singer facing allegations by Grammy Award singer, Burna Boy.
He said the police had claimed that Mr Okoye might flee while he was released by the same police for a trip to the United States of America.
Adeyanju posted, “The @PoliceNG @PoliceNG_CRU have refused to release Speed Darlington or take him before a judge to face trial on the childish excuse that the last time they released him to me, he travelled to the US.
“This narrative is false because we told them he was going to US to return.”
He added, “We have done the needful on speed Darlington but the case has not been assigned by the court.”
