Let $S$ act by conjugation on the Sylow $p$-subgroups. The only fixed point is $S$: if $S$ normalizes another $T$, then $ST$ is a $p$-subgroup, forcing $S=T$. For $T=gSg^{-1}\ne S$, a stabilizer element in $S$ normalizes $T$, hence lies in $T$ by the same argument; the hypothesis then makes it trivial. Every nontrivial orbit therefore has size $|S|$, so
$$
\boxed{n_p\equiv1\pmod{|S|}.}
