Days after the disappearance of popular singer and content creator Speed Darlington, his mother has shared an emotional video asking for help.
The video has been trending online and has drawn the attention of many Nigerians.
In the video, Speed Darlington’s mother recalled how his gateman informed her that Burna Boy and his crew came to their house.
She claims they took her son away. “Nigerians, please come and help me. My son Speed Darlington has been missing for over four days now, after he made a video about Burna Boy and Diddy. Burna Boy came to his house with his seven-man squad and police and they arrested Akpi,” she said, tears in her eyes.
She called on Nigerians to help her beg Burna Boy to forgive her son, saying, “Please, Nigerians, help me and beg Burna Boy to release my son. Akpi is my only son.”
The situation has become more complicated since Speed Darlington made comments linking Burna Boy’s Grammy award to US artist Diddy.
According to lawyer Deji Adeyanju, Speed Darlington was later moved to Abuja, where he remains in detention.
Adeyanju stated in a Tuesday tweet, “We just spent the last 30 minutes with Speed Darlington. He narrated how he was arrested in Lagos last Friday, moved around, and eventually brought to Abuja. A petition against him was written by Burna Boy, we can confirm.”
