A Family Court sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State, has remanded a skit maker and prankster, Maruf Abdullahi, popularly called Trinity Guy, in Agodi correctional facility over alleged sexual exploitation of a 10-year-old girl.
Trinity Guy will spend his time in the Centre til Tuesday, July 11 when the case would come up for mention.
He was arraigned on Monday days after the Force Spokesperson, Chief Superintendent of Police(CSP), Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had deplored the unwholesome conduct of the skit maker with a minor and hinted that the offence would not go unaddressed.
The Trinity Guy was charged to court on by the police for allegedly sexualising the minor in a viral 38-second video where he asked the girl to describe his genitals.
The Special Court also arraigned and remanded Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife, Rofiat, 29, who are parents of the victim on two-count charges of conspiracy and sexual abuse and exploitation alongside the skit maker.
The Magistrate, P.O. Adetuyibi did not take the defendants’ plea for want of jurisdiction, saying the case file had been filed and duplicated at the state Ministry of Justice, Ibadan.
Earlier, the suspect’s lawyer, Oludare Adebayo, had pleaded with the court to release his client.
The Prankster earlier had claimed that he obtained clearance from the minor’s parent before shooting the skit.
