The singer reportedly proposed June 26 as an alternative date
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) has rescheduled its meeting with singer Speed Darlington to Monday, June 2, following his failure to appear as initially requested.
The agency had invited the artist to appear at its office on May 30, in response to a controversial video in which he claimed to have had carnal knowledge of a 15-year-old girl.
In a statement issued on Friday, NAPTIP said Speed Darlington declined the initial invitation, citing short notice and prior commitments.
However, the agency rejected the suggestion, stating it cannot operate according to the singer’s personal schedule. NAPTIP has now mandated that he appear at its office on June 2 without fail.
The agency emphasized the seriousness of the matter and reiterated its commitment to investigating all allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation involving minors.
