The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has declared controversial rapper and social media personality, Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, wanted over serious criminal allegations.
In a public notice shared via its official X (formerly Twitter) handle, the agency listed charges against the rapper including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking. NAPTIP is calling on members of the public with useful information about his whereabouts to come forward, as the agency intensifies efforts to apprehend him.
The move has triggered widespread reactions online, with many expressing shock over the nature of the allegations. While Speed Darlington is known for his unfiltered social media presence and eccentric public persona, this marks the most serious legal challenge he has faced to date.
NAPTIP’s decision to go public with the notice underscores the agency’s commitment to tackling not only human trafficking but also associated forms of abuse and exploitation, particularly those amplified through digital platforms. The case also highlights growing concerns about the misuse of social media by public figures to harass, intimidate, or exploit others.
As the situation unfolds, it remains unclear whether the rapper will respond to the allegations or turn himself in. Meanwhile, legal experts and advocacy groups are calling for a thorough investigation and due process, while urging victims of online abuse to speak out and seek justice.
This is a developing story, and further updates are expected in the coming days as authorities work to bring the accused to account.
