On Tuesday, human rights activist and lawyer Deji Adeyanju shared alarming news about the arrest of singer Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, revealing the circumstances on his X account.

The situation escalated after social media influencer Constance Nwogu raised concerns over Speed Darlington’s sudden disappearance. According to Adeyanju, he was detained in Lagos last Friday based on a petition filed by the renowned artist Burna Boy, whose real name is Damini Ogulu. Following his arrest, Akpi was transported to Abuja, where he has remained in custody.

Details regarding the specific allegations in Burna Boy’s petition have not been disclosed. Adeyanju mentioned, “We just spent the last 30 minutes with Speed Darlington, and he explained how he was arrested in Lagos last week, moved around, and eventually brought to Abuja, where he has been detained since. The petition against him was indeed initiated by Burna Boy.”

In a heartfelt plea, Speed Darlington’s mother, identified as Miss Queen, has appealed to Burna Boy for leniency. In an emotional Instagram video, she claimed to have been informed by Akpi’s security personnel that Burna Boy and his team visited their home and took him away.

“Good day everyone, my name is Mrs. Queen, and I am Darlington’s mother. I just received information that my son is missing. His gateman contacted us to say that Darlington made a video about Burna Boy,” she stated. “He told me that Burna Boy came with his team and took Darlington from our home. Please, Darlington is my only son. I am asking all Nigerians for help.”

Miss Queen continued, “I am begging you, Burna Boy. I am on my knees, pleading for your mercy. Please temper justice with mercy and forgive my son. I don’t know what else to say but to ask for forgiveness. I’m just a mother asking for her son’s release.”

She urged Speed Darlington’s fans to support her plea, stating, “To all of Darlington’s fans, please help me appeal to Burna Boy. I am begging for my son’s release. He is my only child, and I am desperate for your help.”
