New Telegraph gathered that Burna Boy accused Darlington of defaming and cyberstalking him.
In a previous viral video, Darlington had asked Burna Boy to explain how he won the Grammy award for his album ‘Twice As Tall’, taunting his affiliation with the embattled US rapper, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ who is facing multiple charges for sexual exploitation and human trafficking.
Following his remark, Darlington was secretly picked up by the police.
Speaking further, Adeyanju appreciated those who contributed to the singer’s release and commended the police in the IRT department for their professionalism.
He wrote: “Special appreciation to #YeleSowore, super reliable senior lawyer #stanalieke, and to all Nigerians for raising their voice for Speed Darlington. Must also appreciate Prof Sanusi and his team at IRT for their professionalism today.”
