While details surrounding the incident remain scarce, Adeyanju’s confirmation has sparked widespread speculation among fans and followers.

Further updates regarding the circumstances of Speed Darlington’s arrest and his current status are anticipated.

He wrote, “Our client Speed Darlington, a.k.a. AKPI, has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”

He added that his arrest occurred during his return to Nigeria for a show.

The reasons for Darlington’s arrest remained unclear at the time of filing this report.
