The Cybercrime Response Team of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has commenced investigations into the disturbing Instagram live video and other videos made by entertainer Speed Darlington.

This was after Speed Darlington, during a live Instagram video, revealed how he deflowered a minor by having sex with her in a hotel.

The agency had earlier passed the buck to the Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) to handle the situation.

In response, the DSVA condemned the videos but gave reasons why it wouldn’t be able to probe the situation.

“While the individual in question did not specify the location of the incident during the Instagram Live session, we must clarify that the DSVA’s jurisdiction is limited to Lagos State.

“In view of the above, and in line with our commitment to justice, we have escalated the situation to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP),” the agency said.

Taking charge of the situation, NAPTIP issued a terse statement on X, saying, “The NAPTIP Cybercrime Response Team has commenced investigations into the disturbing Instagram live video and other videos made by the same individual. We at NAPTIP are committed to a world where children are safe and free from all forms of violence.”
