Speed Darlington, known for his antics on social media, now faces serious legal scrutiny. The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) issued a formal letter on May 28, demanding his presence for questioning after a troubling Instagram Live in which he claimed involvement with an underage girl.
This case underscores growing concerns around the misuse of social platforms and the legal implications of influencers’ online behavior. It also puts a spotlight on NAPTIP’s readiness to act on viral content linked to possible crimes involving minors.
