Parents of underage girl, Trinity Guy, remanded in prison over offensive skit

A Family Court sitting in Iyaganku, Ibadan, Oyo State on Monday remanded a skit maker, Maruf Abdullahi, popularly known as Trinity Guy, in Agodi correctional facility.

Trinity Guy was sent to prison over alleged sexual exploitation of a 10-year-old girl.

Recalled that Trinity Guy had been interviewed by the Oyo State Police Command over the skit and he said he had the consent of the parents of the girl to shoot the video.

Following this, the police also arraigned Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife, Rofiat, 29, who are parents of the victim on two counts bordering on conspiracy and sexual abuse alongside the Trinity Guy.

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.

Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Inspector Oluwakemi Arowosaye, had told the court that the three defendants conspired together to sexually abuse the girl.

“Abdullahi was asking the victim the colour of his penis, recording the scene and posting it on social media,” Arowosaye said.

According to her, the offences are contrary to Section 35 (1) and punishable under Section 35 (2) of Oyo State Child Right’s Law, 2006.

Arowosaye said that the offences also contravened Section 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State, 2000.
