Speed Darlington has reacted to a public notice issued by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) declaring him wanted
The agency, in a statement shared via its official Instagram account on Friday, accused the artist of serious offences, including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking.
The post read:
“Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, is wanted in connection with alleged offences including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking. Anyone with credible information on his whereabouts is urged to contact NAPTIP immediately.”
Responding to the development in an interview with Saturday Beats, Speed Darlington dismissed the agency’s declaration, insisting it has no legal basis. He added that his lawyer is fully aware of the situation and will take it from here.
“Thanks for the heads-up, but I’m not worried. They have no right to declare me wanted,” he said. “My lawyer has already seen the post. They’re only embarrassing themselves. My legal team is on it.”
NAPTIP’s statement comes after the singer reportedly failed to appear at the agency’s headquarters on May 30, 2025, for questioning over a controversial statement he made during a live Instagram session. In the video, he allegedly admitted to engaging in sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl.
The agency noted that after receiving the summons, Speed Darlington asked to reschedule his appearance for June 26, citing other commitments. However, after failing to honour the new date, NAPTIP opted to go public with the matter.
