FG Summons Speed Darlington Over Alleged Sex With Minor
The federal government, through the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), has officially summoned Mr. Darlington Okoye, popularly known as Speed Darlington, following claims of sexual misconduct involving a minor.
