On June 27, 2025, the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) officially declared Speed Darlington (Darlington Okoye) wanted over allegations of rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking following his widely shared video claiming he had sex with a 15‑year‑old girl . The agency also noted he failed to appear for questioning after being summoned on May 30 and again disregarding a rescheduled date . --- Speed Darlington’s Reaction Speed Darlington has flatly denied that NAPTIP has any right to label him “wanted.” He said: > “Thanks for the heads up, but I’m not worried. They have no right to declare me wanted. My lawyer has already sent it to me. They just want to embarrass themselves. My lawyer will handle it.” He insists his legal team is taking charge and downplays the notice as an overstep by the agency. --- The Background The uproar began in May 2025, when Speed Darlington admitted on a live Instagram video to having sex with a 15‑year‑old, claiming it was all a publicity stunt to boost his new song . Critics, human rights groups, and the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency reacted with outrage, prompting the matter’s escalation to NAPTIP . --- So, where things stand now: | Status | Detail | |---|---| | NAPTIP action | Formally declared him wanted; urging public assistance to locate him | | Speed's stance | Refusing to acknowledge the declaration, entrusting matters to his lawyer | | Potential next steps | NAPTIP is reportedly coordinating with other agencies to prevent flight and enforce compliance | --- Bottom Line Speed Darlington is currently publicly wanted by NAPTIP, but he’s dismissing the move and relying on legal intervention. The agency, however, is not backing down and continues to push for his appearance to respond to the charges.

Terry G indeed made that comment, celebrating the tendency in Nigeria (and broader Africa) to sometimes forget or dismiss our own talents, unlike how global icons like Jay‑Z and Beyoncé are consistently lauded for their impact. He was referring to this trend while praising Wizkid, calling him “the Jay‑Z of our generation” for his influence, carriage, and trailblazing role in Afrobeats—remarks he made on the Afrobeats Podcast in mid‑June 2024 . 🎙️ His exact words (paraphrased) were along the lines of: “Here in Africa, especially Nigeria, we’re quick to discard our own. No one calls Jay‑Z or Beyoncé outdated. Their impact is honoured.” By drawing this contrast, Terry G was highlighting how Nigerian stars often face dismissal or neglect over time, even as international legends continue to receive enduring recognition. His praise of Wizkid was rooted in seeing those parallels and pushing for a more consistent appreciation of Nigerian greatness. It’s interesting to see an artist so candidly encourage the celebration of home-grown talent and urge viewers and fans not to rush to forget or disregard our local icons. Would you like to explore more examples where Nigerian artists have encouraged this kind of recognition, or perhaps insights on how industry advocacy has evolved?
