Social critic Vincent Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM), has reacted to the stay of singer Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, in police custody for defaming his colleague Ebunoluwa Ogulu, aka Burna Boy.
There are reports from his lawyers that he may spend his Christmas and the New Year behind bars and VDM said he has made enquiries about the case of Akpi, as the singer is fondly called.
VDM recalled how he was arrested and judges were not on duty to hear his case. This often leads to the prolonged stay of the accused in police custody. He noted that issues like this arise when there are plans to keep the accused for a longer period behind bars.
VDM shares take on Speed Darlington
The 30-year-old social critic blamed Speed Darlington for speaking ill of Burna Boy. Legit.ng earlier reported that Akpi shaded Burna Boy and assumed that he had bedroom activities with American rapper P. Diddy before he was given his Grammy Award.
VDM said Akpi should be more cautious and that it was a lesson for others who want to defame others, including himself. He also tackled the Last Last crooner for taking Akpi’s arrest too far considering that he sings against oppression. Nevertheless, he said he understood the singer lost some deals because of Akpi’s constant attacks on his personality.
According to VDM, he has spoken to some people and Speed Darlington would likely get his freedom tomorrow Thursday, December 18, 2024, after a judge grants him bail.
