Lagos Authorities Respond to Viral Clip of Entertainer’s Alarming Allegation Involving a Minor
The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has issued a formal response to a viral video that has stirred considerable concern. In the video, a well-known entertainer, Speed Darlington, appears to make a startling claim during a live broadcast—one that implies involvement with a minor in an inappropriate situation. However, the video fails to mention where the incident allegedly took place, leaving jurisdictional boundaries in question.
According to the DSVA, because the entertainer did not specify a location, the agency is unable to act unless it is confirmed that the event occurred within Lagos State. Jurisdiction matters, after all, and without that crucial piece of information, the agency’s hands are temporarily tied.
Not one to let such serious claims slip through the cracks, the DSVA has promptly referred the matter to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), a federal body better positioned to investigate such claims across state lines. Their message was clear: justice may take a few steps, but it will march on.
The agency also took the opportunity to reaffirm its unwavering commitment to protecting minors and combating all forms of sexual and gender-based abuse. Their stance is ironclad—zero tolerance.
The public was encouraged to contribute to the investigation by sharing any useful information through a dedicated toll-free line or social media channels. Tips can also be sent directly to NAPTIP via email or phone.
In closing, the DSVA extended its gratitude to the alert citizens who flagged the video. Their vigilance is not only appreciated but crucial in the ongoing effort to safeguard children and uphold the rule of law. As investigations proceed, the agency reminds everyone to channel reports through appropriate legal platforms to ensure proper action can be taken.
