Controversial internet personality responds after anti‑trafficking agency places him on wanted list.
Speed Darlington, a flamboyant social media figure, responded defiantly to NAPTIP’s (National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons) declaration that he is wanted. He released a video on June 28, claiming the notice reached him “at short notice” and that he “can’t be declared wanted” given his schedule.
He insisted he's cooperating with authorities and challenged NAPTIP on procedural timelines. While reaffirming his innocence, Speed Darlington promised to attend inquiries when formally summoned. Followers rallied in support, citing his transparency.
