Popular human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, has criticized famous Grammy winning Nigerian artist Burna Boy, accusing him of using his influence to oppress fellow musician Speed Darlington.
Adeyanju made these remarks while discussing the ongoing detention of Speed Darlington, who was reportedly arrested upon his return to Nigeria.
In a recent episode of The Honest Bunch podcast, Adeyanju, who also serves as Speed Darlington’s legal counsel, expressed his dismay over the situation.
According to him, the rapper has been held in police custody since November 25, raising concerns about the legal processes surrounding his case.
Adeyanju revealed that Burna Boy allegedly orchestrated the arrest by deploying a significant number of Mobile Police Officers (MOPOL) to detain Speed Darlington.
He questioned why an artist of Burna Boy’s stature, who often refers to himself as “Africa’s Giant,” would go to such lengths to target a less prominent figure, whom Adeyanju likened to a “small mosquito.”
