Sex with minor: NAPTIP adds Speed Darlington to watch list, mulls N50m bounty

Darlington

The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons on Monday said it has tightened the net around Nigerian entertainer, Darlington Okoye (a.k.a. Speed Darlington), adding his name to an international watch list.

It also said it had alerted Interpol after he ignored multiple summonses over an online confession to having sex with a 15-year-old girl.

According to sources who spoke to one of our correspondents, the agency was also mulling a N50m bounty on the entertainer after the gestational period of the wanted status.

“We are collaborating with the Nigeria Immigration Service, the Police, the DSS, and even the Interpol.

“We have put all of them on procedural notice so that wherever they see him, they can take action.

“The reason we did this is because we have given him enough opportunity,” NAPTIP’s Chief Press Officer, Vincent Adekoye, confirmed in an exclusive interview with The PUNCH on Monday.

On Friday, June 27, NAPTIP declared Okoye wanted in connection with alleged offences including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking. Punch
