S3x With Minor: Fresh Trouble As NAPTIP Invites Speed Darlington For Questioning

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has formally summoned Darlington Okoye, widely recognised as Speed Darlington, in light of allegations of sexual misconduct involving a minor.

The contentious singer incited significant outrage during an Instagram live session where he claimed to have engaged in a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old girl.

Naijaonpoint reports that the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency had brought the issue to NAPTIP’s attention, calling for a comprehensive investigation into these alarming allegations.

In reaction to the public outcry, Speed Darlington published a subsequent video in which he asserted that his comments were meant to promote a new song.

He also expressed regret for any offence or discomfort his statements may have caused.

“All my followers pissed off about the video I recorded in which I spoke about me sleeping with a 15-year-old, I am an artiste. I need controversy to eat. If you are not trending, you are not getting booked. Simple! Nobody is booking something that is not trending.

“I have a new song now. The song is talking about f#ck this, f#ck that. This is my genre. I do not perform Christian music. When I dropped my song, I needed f#ck contents to push it. That is what I was doing. Don’t give it more than it is supposed to have. If any of you are offended, it’s alright. Apologies,” the singer stated.

However, in a statement released on Thursday, NAPTIP confirmed that it has summoned Speed Darlington for questioning.

The agency further cautioned that additional measures would be taken if he does not comply.
