Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have arrested a Nigerian musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Counsel for the singer and Human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the development in a post on his official X page on Wednesday.

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.”

However, the reason for the singer’s arrest remains unclear at the time of filing this report.

Yemi Solade, the Nigerian actor, has fired back at an Instagram user who criticised his role in a new film titled ‘5Alive’.

The controversy began when fellow actor Rotimi Salami shared a promotional video on Instagram, showcasing Yemi and co-star Sanusi Izihaq (Apa) in an intimate scene.

Solade appeared to have kissed Izihaq on the cheek in the video that portrayed the two men as lovers.

The footage provoked a chorus of condemnation, with critics accusing the actors of attempting to promote homosexuality.

One critic, known as Dunne Black, launched a personal attack on Yemi, writing in Yoruba, “Mo sorry but ara yin o ya” which translates to, “I’m sorry, but you are not okay”.

Solade responded to the criticism with fierce retorts in Yoruba.

“Orí bàbá ẹ to wà ní ọgbà wèrè lo ń bá wí,” he fired back — meaning “It’s your father’s head in the asylum you are talking to”.

Dayo Amusa, the Nollywood actress, has addressed the public’s inquiry about the identity of her child’s father.

The film star welcomed her first child in the United States on November 18, but the baby’s father’s identity remains unknown, leaving many social media users’ tongues wagging.

Addressing these concerns via a TikTok live session, Amusa maintained that she will not disclose her child’s father’s identity.

The actress explained that she is concealing the father’s identity to “maintain my peace” and prevent anyone from ruining her happiness.

The movie star alo expressed her excitement about being a mother and having “a new name”.

“I realised that some people are so interested in knowing who the father of my child is. Is your husband missing?” she said.

“Moreover, the child is not a fruit that just fell from heaven. He definitely has a father. It is not compulsory you congratulate me, do not bother.

“If it not convenient for you, don’t worry. I do not care. I am the one in the public eyes, not my husband.

“I would only let out what I want to let out. I want to maintain my peace that is why my personal life is undisclosed.”
