The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has said it is aware of the disturbing video currently circulating online, in which a popular entertainer, Speed Darlington, allegedly admits to engaging in unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
In the video, Speed Darlington said he cannot imagine himself working in a hotel. Giving reasons, the entertainer revealed how he had sex with a minor and deflowered her, saying her blood made a mess of the bedsheet of the hotel, hinting that the cleaning was left for the hotel staff.
Reacting, the DSVA said while he 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 DSVA reaffirmed the Lagos State Government's zero-tolerance stance against all forms of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence, adding that it will continue to advocate for accountability and the protection of every Nigerian child.
"If you have any information that may assist with ongoing investigations, kindly reach out to us via our toll-free line 08000-333-333 or send a direct message on any of our official social media platforms.
"You may also contact NAPTIP directly via email: info@naptip.gov.ng or phone: 07030000203.
"Lastly, we appreciate the vigilance of citizens who brought this to our attention and urge the public to continue reporting such cases through the appropriate legal channels."
