He was arrested in Lagos and taken to Abuja over Burna Boy’s petition- Lawyer Deji Adeyanju gives an update on Speed Darlington

Lawyer Deji Adeyanju has given an update on singer, Speed Darlington.

In a post shared on his X handle, Adeyanju revealed that Speed Darlington was arrested in Lagos last Friday October 4 and whisked to Abuja by the police following a petition from Burna Boy.

‘’We just spent the last 30mins with Speed Darlington and he narrated how he was arrested in Lagos Friday last week, moved around and eventually brought to Abuja and has been in detention since then. Petition against him was written by Burna Boy we can confirm.”

The petition might be connected with a video Speed Darlington published in September where he questioned Burna Boy’s sexuality. 

In the video, Speed Dalington said Burna Boy gained publicity in the US and was even nominated for a Grammy after he became close to embattled singer Diddy. He went on to ask if Burna Boy’s bum was greased with oil after he became close to Diddy.
