Showbiz promoter, Paulo Okoye, better known as Paulo, has slammed human rights lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, for linking Grammy award-winning singer, Burna Boy to the arrest of his colleague, Speed Darlington.
Deji had announced on social media that Speed Darlington was arrested by police officers in Owerri, the Imo state capital, on November 26.
He also alleged that Burna Boy was using the Nigerian police to harass his client, despite singing against oppressing and claiming he is Fela junior.
In a post via his Instagram page, Paulo criticized Deji for involving Burna Boy in the recent arrest.
Paulo also accused the lawyer of being unprofessional and spreading misinformation, urging Deji to handle his clients more responsibly.
He wrote, “Lawyer Deji or what ever they call you!!!! Can you put respect on Burna Boy’s Name? Why are you even mentioning Burna Boy’s name?? Smh You’re nothing more than a social media lawyer! Lawyer my Ass. Get your facts right before you open your gutter mouth Control your client.”
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force has reportedly moved Nigerian singer, Speed Darlington, from Owerri, Imo State, to the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
A top source who spoke to SaharaReporters said the singer was on Wednesday moved from Owerri to the Police Force Intelligence Department (FID).
The Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) in charge of FID, Dasuki Galadanchi, was said to have personally taken over Darlington’s case files from the police unit that arrested him before.
