Singer Darlington Okoye, famously known as Speed Darlington, has emerged from a two-month stint in Kuje prison, marking a significant turn in his tumultuous journey.
It is worth noting that the Federal High Court in Abuja has approved the bail application for Speed, allowing him to secure his release with a bond set at N20 million.
This evening, Stan Alieke, the attorney representing him, took to social media to share the news with the public.
He wrote; “Delighted to announce that our client, Mr Darlington Achakpo Aka Speed Darlington (Akpi) has regained his freedom after two months of illegal incarceration. For the record, as his team of lawyers, we will be exploring every angle of the law to ensure that he gets justice for his fundamental human right which was deprived of him by the Nigerian Police Force and for the unfair/ unjust treatment he was subjected to. Mr Achakpo extends his gratitude to everyone who threw in their support and Special thanks to my colleagues, Mr Marshal Abubakar Esq, Barr Deji Adeyanju, Barr Hamza Nuh, Barr David. ~ Freedom cometh by struggle.”
