“I Ain’t Done Anything”: Speed Darlington Fires Back at NAPTIP, Flaunts ₦2M Watch Amid Wanted Notice

Speed Darlington – real name Darlington Okoye – has defiantly responded to his wanted status declared by NAPTIP, accusing the agency of using his case to gain social media clout. “Take that sh!t down. I’m not coming. I’ve not committed any cr!me. Where’s your evidence and who’s the complainant?” he shot back in a fiery Instagram video posted late Saturday, June 28, 2025.

The fiery retort follows NAPTIP’s announcement on June 27, which named him wanted for alleged offences, including rape, cyberbullying, and cyberstalking. The declaration came after Speed Darlington failed to honour multiple invitations from the agency, including a postponed appearance from the original May 30 summons.

Fans buzzed when a video surfaced of Darlington boarding a flight with the caption “Going to see #VillageGirl,” seemingly amid the storm. His supporters noted the timing as suspicious—but Speed Darlington insists he never fled; he was simply following through on existing plans.

In a boastful shift from defiance to display, the singer revealed he recently splashed ₦2 million on a luxury timepiece. “I just bought myself a ₦2 million watch, I’m a big money spender,” he declared—seemingly confident amid swirling controversy.

Legal experts underscore that NAPTIP’s allegations, tied to Nigeria’s 2015 Trafficking in Persons and Cybercrime Acts, are serious. Speed Darlington’s claim—that his controversial viral video was comedic “clout content”—has not stopped the agency from intensifying the investigative process.

This latest twist comes after Darlington faced public scrutiny over a May 27 Instagram Live video in which he claimed intimacy with a 15-year-old, prompting widespread outrage and triggering formal complaints from Lagos State authorities.

As the online storm rages and NAPTIP stands firm, the clash between influencer bravado and institutional action raises urgent questions about social media responsibility, legal accountability, and how far online stunts can go before real-world consequences kick in.
