Human rights attorney Deji Adeyanju has come under fire from showbiz producer Paulo Okoye, better known by his stage as Paulo, for allegedly connecting Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy to his colleague Speed Darlington’s incarceration.
According to Naija News Thrill, Deji had posted on social media that Speed Darlington had been taken into custody by police on November 26 in Owerri, the capital of Imo state.
In addition, he claimed that Burna Boy was harassing his client by employing the Nigerian police, even though Burna Boy was singing against oppression and identifying himself as Fela junior.
Paulo took issue with Deji’s involvement of Burna Boy in the recent arrest in a post on his Instagram page.
Paulo urged Deji to treat his customers with more responsibility and accused the attorney of being dishonest and disseminating false information.
He penned, “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.”
