Maruf Abdullahi, a well-known comedian from Nigeria known as Trinity Guy, will be spending a longer time in prison.
Maruf Abdullahi, aka “Trinity,” was ordered to be jailed in the Agodi detention centre on Tuesday by a family court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, because of claims that he sexually molested a 10-year-old girl.
The magistrate, Mrs. P. O. Adetuyibi, ordered Abdullahi, 31, Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife Rofiat Ahmed, 29, to remain in prison at Agodi.
Reports claim that the police charged Abdullahi, alongside the parents of the victim with conspiracy and sexual abuse/exploitation.
Earlier, the Prosecution Counsel, Insp Oluwakemi Arowosaye told the court that Abdullahi, Ahmed, and his wife Rofiat allegedly conspired together to wit sexual abuse.
Arowosaye said ‘Trinity” on Dec. 17, 2022, was alleged to have sexually abused and sexually exploited a 10-year-old girl in the Kuola area, Ibadan.
The offence, the police said, contravened the provisions of Section 35 (1) and was punishable under Section 35 (2) of the Oyo State Child Right’s Law 2006.
She said it also contravenes the provisions of section 516 of the Criminal Code Laws of Oyo State 2000.
