The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has escalated its pursuit of controversial entertainer Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, by placing him on an international watchlist and alerting Interpol.
This move follows the artist’s repeated failure to honour summons over a viral video in which he claimed to have had sex with a 15-year-old girl.
Despite being declared wanted on June 27 for alleged rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking, Speed Darlington has remained defiant, insisting he committed no crime.
NAPTIP’s spokesperson, Vincent Adekoye, confirmed that the agency is working with the Nigeria Immigration Service, police, DSS, and Interpol to locate and apprehend him. “We have followed the legal process and obtained a court order to watchlist him,” he said.
