Controversial Nigerian entertainer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, has been declared wanted by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) over serious allegations including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking.
The agency made the announcement on Friday via its official Instagram handle @officialnaptip, calling on the public to assist in locating the entertainer.
“WANTED BY NAPTIP. 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. Call: 07030000203, info@naptip.gov.ng,” the post read.
This development follows a disturbing claim made by Speed Darlington during a live Instagram session, where he openly boasted about having sexual relations with a 15-year-old girl. The statement sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms, prompting NAPTIP to invite the musician for questioning.
However, according to the agency, Speed Darlington failed to honour the invitation, leading to the issuance of the wanted notice.
Known for his eccentric online presence and controversial outbursts, Speed Darlington has often courted drama, but this marks the most serious accusation yet in his public life.
As of the time of this report, he has not responded publicly to the allegations or the declaration by NAPTIP.
The agency is urging anyone with useful information about his whereabouts to come forward, assuring that all tips will be treated with confidentiality.
