American Nigerian rapper Speed Darlington has called out the Nigerian police in Abuja for withholding his phone.
The singer, who was arrested early this year for cyberstalking Burna Boy, revealed that the police haven’t given him his phone. Pleading with them to give him his phone, he stated that this is one of the reasons why Nigeria is divided because it is a shit hole country.
He noted how if he called the officer’s name, he could be invited for questioning. Threatening to change it for them, he noted how his lawyer told him he never did anything wrong to Burna as there is nothing like cyberstalking.
“The police in Abuja haven’t given me my phone. I am currently in America. Make una give me my phone na. Una go dey wonder why different groups dey start all over Nigeria, some people want Oduduwa, some want Biafra, its because Nigeria is a shit hole. If I call the officer’s name, they go say, make I come Abuja come give a statement. I don dey respect una now, una no wan give me my phone. I fit change am for una, I no dey come again and would continue blasting you all. Make una give me my phone wetin be all this one, shebi dem don release me from detention.
If una wan file criminal lawsuit, make una go on na, I will come court come to defend myself. After all, there is nothing in the law book, according to my lawyer, that says there is anything like cyberstalking in Nigeria”.
Refreshing your memory, weeks back Burna Boy filed a petition against Speed Darlington for alleged cyberstalking. The rapper was taken to Abuja where he was detained by the IRT team. Darlington’s mother alleged that Burna Boy and his team were responsible for her son’s arrest, and begged the Grammy singer to release her son.
After spending 3 days in detention, Speed Darlington was released on bail after meeting conditions stipulated by the police at the Inspector General of Police Intelligence Response Team’s Department in the Guzape Area of Abuja.
Following his release, the rapper, via Instagram Live, vowed to deal with Burna. He stated that the Grammy singer would beg for his account number by the time he was through with him.
Recall that Speed Darlington raised brows due to his inquisition about Burnaboy’s relationship with American rapper and businessman P.Diddy.
Speed Darlington noted how he had taken a photo with P.Diddy some years back, and after that other Nigerian artists started flying out to meet P.Diddy and take pictures with him. Speed said that shortly after Burna Boy took photos with P.Diddy, he won a Grammy award. Quizzing him, he urged Burna to explain how he became more famous after meeting with P.Diddy.
