Nigerian prankster remanded in custody over minor abuse
By Nonso David
ABUJA-It all started when the popular prankster called Trinity Guy, was seen in a video asking a 10-year-old girl to describe how his private part is. He rushed to the little girl, asking her to tell him what exactly his pen!s looks like.
The video went viral as usual, but this time, it reached the Public Relations Unit of the Nigerian Police. Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said “This is rubbish and criminal. This guy should be arrested and charged to court. We will act as soon as possible. I hate this scene, child abuse.”
After this outing, Abdullahi Adisa, also known as Trinity Guy made a public outing and apologized to the public that he will not do such pranks again.
“Good day to you guys, my name is Abdulahi popularly known as Trinityguy. I would like to use this opportunity to appreciate everyone who has been calling and showing concern about the misconceptions about my work and my person. I would equally love to show my appreciation to my fans around the world, my colleagues, and the Nigeria police, most especially Mr. ADEJOBI OLUMUYIWA for his fatherly role in calling my attention to the areas I needed to work on and amend. Your efforts in safeguarding the nation are truly inspiring and appreciated. May Almighty God bless everyone! Lastly, I would like to inform my fans that they should watch out for more creative content on my page and I promise to never let you bored. One love.”
He was later invited by the Police where he was remanded in custody and the case was adjourned to July 11, according to Metro Watch Nigeria.
The Magistrate Court sitting in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, on Monday, June 26, 2023, ordered the remand of popular prankster, Abdullahi Adisa, alongside the parents of the minor girl, in prison.
“The counsel for ‘Trinity Guy’, who was brought to the court by the police, pleaded with the court to grant bail to his client. However, Magistrate PO Adetuyibi denied the bail application, stating that the allegation against the skit maker is currently under the scrutiny of the State Ministry of Justice,” reports, Metro Watch.
This is not the only terrible prank the guy has made. Some Nigerians have complained that his pranks are too extreme and can give his victims high blood or even cause death.
According to UNICEF, in Nigeria, “Six out of every 10 children experience some form of violence – one in four girls and 10 percent of boys have been victims of sexual violence. Of the children who reported violence, fewer than five out of 100 received any form of support.”
To Law Care Nigeria, “Section 216 of the criminal code regards the indecent Treatment of boys under fourteen as an offence of felony liable to imprisonment for seven years if done without consent. Section 218 of the criminal code recognizes the defilement of girls under the age of thirteen as an offence of felony liable to imprisonment for life. Section 221 of the criminal code provides that the defilement of girls under sixteen and above thirteen as an offence of misdemeanours is liable for imprisonment of two years.”
