Recall that Darlington, also known as Api, was released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in police custody in Abuja.
Speed Darlington aka Akpi has narrated his ordeal in the custody of Nigerian police officers following his arrest by colleague, Burna Boy.
Recall that Akpi was recently released on bail on October 9 after spending five days in police custody in Abuja.
He was arrested for allegedly defaming Grammy winner Burna Boy.
Following his release, he took to his Instagram live session, to reveal that police “did me dirty” and seized his phone.
“Let me just be direct, I have no beef with Burna Boy. I and Burna Boy are not quarrelling, nor are we, enemies. It is the Nigerian police that did me dirty. They are still withholding my phone at the moment, and I do not have access to it,” he said.
“Burna Boy felt like I was spoiling something for him. The amount of effort Burna Boy put into this case. I feel like I am even more successful than him.
“He pays big money to blogs to push him, but I’m way bigger than him. But you, on the outside looking in, would not see it. I am stronger than Burna Boy. Back in 2016, they used to call me gay because I usually attended events alone, and they thought I was gay.
“The same thing happened to Burna, and now he is calling the police. I’m stronger than him. I was not aware of the cybercrime law. It surprised me that such laws exist. It’s childish for someone to get upset over an insult… why would you be angry because someone insulted you?”
