Stanley Alieke, the counsel for popular controversial rapper, Darlington Achakpo, aka Speed Darlington, said the singer has been granted bail after nearly a month in police custody.
Alieke disclosed this on his Instagram handle on Monday.
“Apki has been granted bail by the court,” he wrote without including much information.
The rapper was arrested on November 27 while performing at a show in Owerri, Imo State.
Adeyanju stated that his client was arrested while performing at a show in Owerri, days after returning to the country earlier in the week.
He wrote: “Our client, Speed Darlington, a.k.a AKPI, has been arrested by the Nigeria Police in Owerri at his show upon return to Nigeria.”
His arrest was connected to an alleged abuse of Afrofusion star, Damini Ogulu popularly known as Burna Boy.

Darlington’s counsel, Deji Adeyanju also confirmed that Burna Boy was responsible for his arrest.
Recall that Speedy was recently detained by the police over alleged cyberstalking of fellow musician, Damini Ogulu, popularly called Burna Boy.
Speedy had in a video shared in his handle associated Burna Boy with disgraced American rapper Sean Diddy Combs, questioning the credibility of his Grammy Award.
The musician was then visited by Adeyanju who disclosed that he had seen a petition written against Speedy by afrobeat musician, Burna Boy.
This prompted his first arrest. On his arrival, Speed Darlington swore never to back down on calling out the Grammy award winner because of his association with the embattled Diddy.
Earlier, Darlington’s lawyer, Adeyanju said that the singer would be arraigned within 48 hours or be released on bail.
“Our FREP application for Speed Darlington a.k.a has been granted by the court. He is to be arraigned within 48 hours or released. Issues around injustice may take time but justice will always prevail,” he wrote.
