Speed Darlington Reacts To NAPTIP’s Invitation Over Alleged Sex With Minor

Controversial Singer and internet personality, Speed Darlington, has responded after failing to honour an invitation from the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP).

KanyiDaily recalls that NAPTIP had summoned Speed Darlington to appear at their Abuja office last week after a disturbing Instagram livestream where he claimed to have had sex with a 15-year-old girl, a remark that sparked public outrage.

However, he did not show up, leading NAPTIP to reschedule the meeting for June 2, threatening to take legal action against the singer after he failed to show up for questioning at the agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

Now, in a letter issued through his lawyers, Speed Darlington has explained his side of the story, assuring the agency that he would make himself available at their office on June 26.

However, he claimed that the video was purely for attention and entertainment, not a reflection of anything real.

The singer also stressed that he has no history of misconduct and sees himself as a role model for young people.

The statement reads. “RE; INVITATION FOR LARIFI ATION REGARDING ONLINE CONTENT RELATED TO ALLEGED SEXVAL OFFENCES INVOLVING MINORS.

“I acknowledge receipt of your letter (captioned as above) and sent to my Instagram handie on 28″ May, 2025, inviting me to offer clarifications on certain online videos you alleged contain admissions of sexual acts (if substantiated) and thus constituting offences under the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act, 2015 and Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc Act, 2015.

“As a law-abiding citizen and a man raised by martinet parents under the highest ethical and moral standard, I have never engaged in or contemplated involving myself in any form of sexual predation, sexual violation or any form of untoward act against the opposite sex.

“As a role model, | am alive to my responsibilities in helping to mould lasting moral valours amongst our young ones and would never deliberately engage in any form of activity that contravenes this noble responsibility.

“For the sake of clarity, I reiterate that the said Instagram video was made for purely entertainment purpose only and does not reflect any previous or future event involving my person with any female; minor or Major. Sadly, what was meant to be a joke has been blown out of proportion by persons looking for fault where none exists.

“Without conceding to any wrong doing, may ! offer my profound apology for any bad blood or misunderstanding my innocuous actions may have caused the online community, but to the discerning, the video was only for clout and entertainment purposes.

“If the Agency requires further clarifications, I undertake to avail myself at the Agency’s office on June 26″, 2025. Whilst thanking you for your understanding, please accept my esteem regards, always.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Speed Darlington was previously exposed by a slay queen who he is making sexual advances toward her on social media.
