An Ibadan-based skit maker, Abdullahi Mahruf, popularly known as Trinity Guy, was on Friday released on bail from Agodi Correctional Centre in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Trinity Guy’s release was confirmed on Friday night by his fellow skit matter, Abdulgafar Ahmad Oluwatoyin, popularly known as Cute Abiola, via a post on his Facebook page.
Cute Abiola said Trinity Guy was released after meeting his bail conditions.
He jocularly added that Trinity Guy had prayed fervently for vindication during his days in prison as this was evident in a black spot clearly speckled on his forehead in his new pictures.
“Trinity is finally free on bail. I am wishing you all the best brother. May Almighty Allah keep guiding you to the right part. Welcome back! My guy don pray tire. See him forehead,” Cute Abiola wrote on Facebook.
It would be recalled that Magistrate P. O. Adetuyibi, who handled Trinity Guy’s case had declined to take the skit maker’s bail application plea for want of jurisdiction, saying the State Ministry of Justice had duplicated the case.
The Magistrate said until the Ministry withdraws one of the cases, the bail application would not be heard.
Trinity Guy ran into trouble after his prank video with a minor went viral on social media.
He was invited by Oyo State Police Command for interrogation after which he was charged to court for sexualising a minor in the viral video.
He was charged alongside the victim’s parents, Ahmed and Rofiat, with conspiracy and sexual abuse/exploitation on Tuesday, July 11, after Inspector Oluwakemi Arowosaye told the court that the Skit Maker conspired with the victim’s parents to abuse and sexualise the young girl in the viral video.
