Nigerian entertainer Darlington Okoye, known as Speed Darlington, is now wanted by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) over serious allegations including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking.
The controversy began in May when Speed Darlington posted a viral Instagram Live video claiming he had sex with a 15-year-old girl. The video sparked public outrage and calls for legal action. Speed Darlington later said the confession was a publicity stunt to promote his new music, but the backlash continued.
NAPTIP summoned him for questioning on May 30, 2025, but he failed to appear. Despite offering a later date, NAPTIP rejected it and warned of further legal action. After missing multiple appointments, the agency officially declared him wanted and urged the public to report his whereabouts.
The Lagos State government and child protection groups condemned the act, emphasizing zero tolerance for sexual abuse of minors. The girl mentioned in the video reportedly plans to file a formal police complaint.
Speed Darlington’s case is a reminder of the serious consequences of using social media irresponsibly.
