A magistrate court in Ibadan, Oyo state has sent popular comedian Abdullahi Maruff Adisa aka Trinityguy, for detention in Prison over the alleged sexualization of a minor in one of his skits.
Recall the Oyo State Police Command on Friday, questioned the skit maker and the parent of the young girl featured in the viral video and disclosed that he would be arraigned on Monday, today.
When the case came before before Magistrate, Trinityguy’s lawyer Olúdáre Adebayo, had sought bail for his client.
It was however summarily denied by Magistrate PO Adetuyibi as he said the investigation by the State Ministry of Justice was still underway.
The judge further ordered that the parent of the child be held in custody also till July 11 whence he adjourned the case.
Meanwhile Nollywood actor Adetutuo Johnson has pleaded with the police to temper Justice with mercy.
He wrote:
