The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) has reacted to the trending video of popular entertainer Speed Darlington admitting to having s3xual relations with a minor in a hotel.

The statement reads; ‘’The Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Agency (DSVA) 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.

Recall that Speed Darlington ignited a people’s reaction on social media after he appeared to have admitted to having a sexual encounter with a minor.

The singer detailed the incident in a recent Instagram live session.

In the footage, Darlington appeared to have shared disturbing aftermath details with a 15-year-old girl in a hotel.

“Before they could come change the sheets for me, I dashed am N2000,” he said.

“Because the thing dey somehow to tell an adult to come and clean blood that I brought out of the body of a 15-year-old girl. I can never work for anybody, I only work for myself.”

The detailed public confession ignited outrage across social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), as numerous Nigerians expressed their condemnation of Darlington’s statements, with many labeling him a paedophile and calling for his immediate arrest.

These reactions stem from the fact that in Nigeria, the generally accepted age of sexual consent is 18, although legal variations exist, notably a lower age of consent under the Penal Code Act prevalent in the northern part of the country.

This was Speed Darlington in 2022.

Incident involving a 16 years old girl.

It was ignored and now in 2025, he went on to predate on a 15 years old girl.
