NAPTIP declares Speed Darlington wanted over alleged rape case

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has declared controversial musician, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, wanted for a rape-related case.

This was contained in a post shared by the agency on Friday.

According to the post, Darlington is also wanted for cyberbullying and cyberstalking.

NAPTIP urged anyone with credible information on his whereabouts to contact the agency immediately or report to the nearest police station.

It would be recalled that Darlington was scheduled to appear before the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons on May 30th over his claim of having sex with a 15-year-old girl during a live Instagram video.

Darlington narrated an incident that he said occurred about 10 years ago at a hotel, where he claimed to have slept with a 15-year-old girl who was a virgin, resulting in bloodied sheets.

He stated that he had to pay N2,000 to the hotel staff to have the sheets changed. He expressed his disdain for working for anyone, especially in a hotel, by saying, “Before they would come to change the sheets for me, I had to give N2,000.”

He added, “It’s a difficult situation to ask an adult to come and clean up the blood that I caused from the body of a 15-year-old girl. I can never work for anyone, no way. I only work for myself.”
