A shocking turn of events has unfolded in Nigeria, where a 15-year-old girl is set to file a formal complaint against Speed Darlington, a controversial entertainer who recently admitted to having a sexual encounter with her. The revelation has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
The saga began when Speed Darlington, also known as Akpi, confessed to defiling a 15-year-old girl during a live Instagram session. Although he later claimed that his admission was a prank aimed at promoting his new song, the damage had already been done. Nigerians were quick to condemn his actions, and the incident has since gained international attention.
Isaac Fayose, brother of former Ekiti State governor Ayo Fayose, has been at the forefront of the campaign for justice. In a video message shared on his Instagram page, Fayose expressed his dismay at the state of lawlessness in Nigeria, particularly when it comes to the protection of children. “Nigeria is the most lawless nation in the world,” he said. “Even our children, the value they are getting now is so low. No law at all… How can we operate a lawless nation?”
Fayose also revealed that the victim has been identified and is set to file a formal complaint against Speed Darlington, accompanied by her mother. This development is expected to pave the way for law enforcement agencies to commence a formal investigation into the matter. Fayose warned Speed Darlington that he would be treated as a pedophile and compared him to disgraced singer R. Kelly, who has been convicted of similar crimes.
The fact that Speed Darlington made his confession on Children’s Day has added to the outrage, with many questioning the lack of protection for children in Nigeria. Fayose emphasized that the international community is watching, and that Speed Darlington’s actions would not be swept under the carpet. As the victim prepares to make her statement, it remains to be seen how the authorities will handle the case and whether justice will be served. One thing is certain, however: the incident has highlighted the need for greater protection and accountability in Nigeria, particularly when it comes to the welfare of children.
