Controversial Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington Okoye, also known as ‘Akpi’ has finally been released from Kuje prison following his detention by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF).
New Telegraph recalls that Akpi was arrested after accusing Grammy Award-winning singer, Burna Boy of having an immoral relationship with embattled United States rapper and music executive, Sean Combs, also known as P. Diddy.
However, Justice M.S. Liman, in an order issued on December 23, 2024, directed the police to either charge Okoye to court within 48 hours or release him unconditionally.
