After being listed as sought by the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, or NAPTIP, controversial musician Speed Darlington responded.
According to the DAILY POST, the agency had proclaimed Speed Darlington sought a few days prior for alleged cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and rape.
The musician admitted to having slept with a 15-year-old girl in a video posted to his Instagram page, but he did not accept NAPTIP’s invitation.
The rapper promised not to turn himself in for questioning in a video posted on his Instagram page on Monday.
The musician threatened to sue NAPTIP for slander while challenging the agency to present proof that he committed the offenses.
“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 anyone? Did I call any name in the video?
“I knack 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.”
