Speed Darlington’s Defiant Stand Against NAPTIP: A Scandal Unraveled
Hold onto your seats, because Nigeria’s most controversial singer, Darlington Okoye, aka Speed Darlington, is stirring up a storm that’s got everyone talking! Declared wanted by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) for alleged rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking, the rapper isn’t backing down. In a jaw-dropping Instagram video dropped on June 30, 2025, he laughed off the charges, declaring, “I’m not coming. I have not committed any crime!” This bold defiance has set social media ablaze, and we’re here to unpack the drama.
It all started when Speed Darlington allegedly confessed in a viral Instagram Live to a sexual encounter with a 15-year-old girl, sparking outrage. NAPTIP didn’t waste time, issuing summons on May 28 for him to answer for his actions. But Speed? He ghosted them, reportedly jetting out of Nigeria before the agency slapped a “wanted” label on him. Posts showing him at an airport have fans whispering: Did he flee to dodge justice?
In his latest video, Speed Darlington doubled down, calling the allegations a “publicity stunt” and demanding N2.5 million plus round-trip tickets to even consider showing up at NAPTIP’s headquarters. “All I did was speak. Irresponsible talk is not a crime,” he quipped, accusing the agency of chasing clout. The audacity! Nigerians are divided,some see him as a fearless rebel, while others demand his arrest under the Child Rights Act and Cybercrime Act, which don’t play nice with offenses involving minors or online harassment.
