The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has declared Nigerian singer, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, wanted over alleged rape, cyber bullying, and cyber stalking.
NPO Reported that the controversial singer had last month raised public eyebrow during a livestream session where he allegedly confessed having sexual affair with a 15-year-old girl.
As captured in a viral video clip from the livestream shared on X, the singer described his sexual encounter the minor which left his bed sheets stained with blood.
He claimed to have paid hotel staff N2,000 to change the sheets.
“Before they could come change the sheets for me, I had to give N2,000. Because the thing is somehow, to tell an adult to come and clean blood that I brought out of the body of a 15-year-old girl. I can never work for anybody, lai lai. I only work for myself.” The singer had said.
Having drawn the attention of the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA), the agency transferred the case to NAPTIP who in a statement officially summoned Darlington.
The singer however failed to honour NAPTIP’s invitation, leading to the agency declaring him wanted on Friday.
As contained in a post shared on its X handle, NAPTIP urged any member of the public with information on his whereabout to contact the agency through its call center, 07030000203 or short code 627.
