A Magistrate’s Court sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State capital, yesterday, remanded skit maker, Abdullahi Maruff Adisa, popularly known as Trinity Guy, over allegation of sexualising minors in his viral skit video
Skit is a short, funny story or performance.
Abdullahi was remanded in Agodi correctional facility over alleged sexual exploitation of a 10-year-old girl.
Trinity Guy was on Friday interviewed by the Oyo State Police Command over the skit.
Consequently, the Police, through the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had called for the arrest of Trinity Guy following a viral video of his dangerous pranks.
A statement by the Oyo State Police Command on Friday, disclosed that the skit maker and parent of the little girl in the viral video were quizzed by the Command and would appear in court Monday.
The skit maker said he had the consent of the parents of the girl to shoot the video.
Following this, the police also arraigned the parents, Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife, Rofiat, 29, on two-count charges of conspiracy and sexual abuse and exploitation alongside the skit maker.
The Magistrate, P. O. Adetuyibi, who did not take the defendants’ plea for want of jurisdiction, said the case file had been filed and duplicated at the Oyo State Ministry of Justice.
Adetuyibi remanded the three defendants in Agodi correctional facility, Ibadan, pending July 11 when the case would come up for mention.
Counsel to the defendant, Oludare Adebayo, had urged the court to grant his client bail.
He argued that Section 41 empowered the court to hear the matter.
Adebayo also said the victim was a product of poverty.
