Rapper Speed Darlington threatens to sue NAPTIP for declaring him wanted

Controversial singer Speed Darlington has fired back at the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) after the agency declared him wanted, insisting he will not comply with their invitation for questioning.

In a video posted online, the artist challenged NAPTIP to present concrete evidence of any wrongdoing, maintaining that he has committed no crime. He accused the agency of using his name to generate social media buzz.

Speed Darlington also threatened legal action, vowing to sue NAPTIP for defamation and demanding the immediate removal of his name from their wanted list.

“NAPTIP pay attention, all this wanted you people posted everywhere, I want you to take that shit down. I’m not coming. Did you hear me? I’m not coming.

“I have not committed any crime, all I need was to speak. Irresponsible talk is not a crime. Where is your evidence? Who is your complainant? Una won use me collect social media clout. Hey look at us we are doing our job, we summon a celebrity and he came.

“I was born here too, I know the psychological mind game wey una won use my name play. I charge N2.5 million for appearance, una go pay me N2.5 million plus round trip tickets for me and my PA, because I call that appearance (the NAPTIP invite) because I know you guys have no evidence you have nothing. There’s no crime, all I did was trying to trend. So me coming there is a waste of my time.

“You are reacting because people were tagging you to go after me. And now you want to show Nigerians say you are a good agency. Go after me for talking? Which one is cyber stalking? Who did I stalk? Did I post to anyone? Did I call any names in the video?

“I knack a 15-year-old girl, na crime? Where is the evidence? Make una remove me from that list wey una put una self ooo. Honestly, I go sue una for defamation of character, for spoiling my name because you have no evidence.”

Despite claiming it was all for publicity, NAPTIP maintained that the statements, if substantiated, could constitute violations of the Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) Enforcement and Administration Act 2015 and the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015.

Meanwhile, reports indicate that the entertainer has fled the country as he had posted a video of himself stating that he “has left Lagos girls for New York girls”. [CONTINUE READING HERE]>>>>
