NAPTIP Summons Speed Darlington Over Alleged Sex With Minor
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons has officially summoned Mr. Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, following claims of sexual misconduct involving a minor.
The controversial singer sparked widespread outrage during an Instagram Live session in which he claimed to have had a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old girl.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency reported the matter to NAPTIP, urging a thorough investigation into the disturbing claims.
In response to the backlash, Speed Darlington released a follow-up video where he stated that the comments were intended to promote a new song. He also issued an apology for any offence or discomfort caused by his remarks.
In a statement issued on Thursday, NAPTIP confirmed it has summoned Speed Darlington for questioning. The agency also warned that further action would be taken should he fail to comply.
