An online skit maker, Abdullahi Maruff Adisa a.k.a Trinityguy, popularly known for his pranks which have been criticised by some people as being ‘extreme’ has been remanded in prison.
A magistrate’s Court situated at Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State capital, ordered the remand of the content creator over an allegation of sexualising a minor in one of his skits.
The skit maker and parents of the little girl in the viral video were initially quizzed by the police.
Prior to his remand, Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had called for the arrest of Trinityguy.
Taking to his social media accounts, the Force PPRO had said the prankster would have his day in court due to some of his ‘disturbing’ online content.
Appearing before the magistrate court, Olúdáre Adebayo, counsel to the defendant, urged the court to grant his client bail.
Magistrate P.O Adetuyibi, while denying the bail application, stated that the allegation against the skit maker was weighty.
The court also ordered that the parents of the little girl in the video be remanded alongside Trinityguy till the next sitting.
The court, therefore, adjourned till July 11.
