A Nigerian skit maker Maruf Abdullahi, popularly called Trinity Guy has been freed from prison after meeting bail conditions.
This was made known by a fellow skit maker Cute Abiola in a post on his Facebook page on Friday night, July 21, 2023.
“TRINITY is finally free on Bail 💪 . I am wishing you all the best brother . May Almighty Allah keep guiding you to the right path . Amen 🙏 welcome back ! Welcome back ! My guy don pray tire 🤣 see him forehead,” he posted.
On July 11, 2023, a Family Court sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan, ordered Trinity Guy to be remanded in the Agodi correction centre for allegedly sexually exploiting a 10-year-old girl.
The Magistrate, Mrs P. O. Adetuyibi also ordered Abdullahi, 31, Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife Rofiat Ahmed, 29, parents of the child should continue to be remanded in Agodi.
Adetuyibi adjourned the matter until August 3, 2023, for mention.
The police had charged Abdullahi, alongside the parents of the victim with conspiracy and sexual abuse/exploitation.
The Police Prosecution Counsel, Oluwakemi Arowosaye, had told the court that the three defendants conspired to abuse the girl sexually.
The prosecution counsel said the prankster sexually abused and exploited the girl in the Kuolaa area of Ibadan on 17 December 2022.
“Abdullahi was asking the victim the colour of his penis, recording the scene and posting it on social media,” she said.
According to her, the offences are contrary to Section 35 (1) and punishable under Section 35 (2) of Oyo State Child Rights Law, 2006.
Arowosaye said the offences also contravened Section 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
However, if the skit maker is found guilty of the offence, he is liable to 15 years imprisonment under the Child Rights Law, 2006.
