The Lagos State Government has reacted to the confession of popular entertainer, Speed Darlington that he defiled a 15-year-old girl.
The controversial celebrity shocked netizens with a video he posted on Instagram on Tuesday, confessing that he defiled the minor and gave her money in exchange for her virginity.
Narrating the incident in Igbo language, he said it took place at an unnamed hotel and added that he paid the hotel staff N2,000 to have the sheets changed when the minor stained it.
His revelations led to an uproar on social media, with many people demanding that relevant authorities arrest and detain Speed Darlington.
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency, DSVA, has now reacted to the viral video clip.
“The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency is aware of the disturbing video currently circulating online, in which a popular entertainer allegedly admits to engaging in unlawful sexual activity with a minor.
“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,” the Lagos DSVA wrote on X.
