Controversial Nigerian entertainer and internet sensation Speed Darlington has stirred yet another wave of online drama after responding defiantly to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) over alleged “wanted” posters circulating online.

In a viral video currently trending across X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, Speed Darlington—known for his eccentric personality and outspoken rants—addressed the issue head-on, denying any wrongdoing and insisting that he would not comply with any agency summons unless he’s paid ₦2.5 million.

“All those ‘wanted’ pictures you people posted about me, I need all of them deleted. I’m not coming anywhere. I did not commit any crime. If you want me to come, you have to pay me ₦2.5 million for my appearance because I’m a celebrity.” — Speed Darlington

The self-proclaimed “Energy God” appeared visibly angry in the video, slamming what he described as “unlawful defamation” by government authorities. While NAPTIP has yet to officially confirm the reason for labeling Speed Darlington “wanted,” speculation continues to swirl online about the nature of the case, with some netizens demanding clarification.

The artist’s response has generated a wave of reactions online—some calling him “brave” for standing up against public shaming, while others believe he may be digging a deeper legal hole for himself by refusing to appear when summoned.

Legal analysts warn that mocking a federal agency’s process or setting conditions for cooperating with lawful authorities may not bode well for the singer if formal charges are involved. Regardless, Speed Darlington remains unbothered, continuing to post videos mocking the situation.

As Nigerians watch the drama unfold, the big question remains: Will NAPTIP pursue further action, or will this turn into another classic Speedy show of internet defiance?
