In response to allegations that he sexually exploited a 10-year-old girl, a family court in Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Monday ordered the detention of skit creator Maruf Abdullahi, also known as Trinity Guy, in the Agodi prison.
Along with the creator of the skit, the court also charged
Isiaka Ahmed, 40, and his wife Rofiat, 29, who are the victim’s parents, on two
counts of conspiracy and sexual abuse and exploitation.
The case file had been submitted and duplicated at the Oyo State
Ministry of Justice, according to the Magistrate, Mrs. P.O. Adetuyibi, who
rejected the defendants’ argument that there was no jurisdiction.
The three defendants were remanded by Adetuyibi in Agodi
Correctional Facility in Ibadan until July 11, when the case will be mentioned
in court.
Mr. Oludare Adebayo, the defense attorney, asserted that
Section 41 gave the court the authority to hear the case. The victim was a
product of poverty, according to Adebayo.
The magistrate acknowledged that the case file had been
duplicated but noted that she couldn’t hear the case until the ministry of
justice agreed to drop it.
Earlier, Insp. Oluwakemi Arowosaye, the prosecution’s
attorney, had informed the court that the three criminals had planned to
sexually abuse the girl jointly.
Arowosaye said that on December 17, 2022, “Trinity” sexually
abused and exploited the girl in the Kuolaa neighborhood of Ibadan.
“Abdullahi was asking the victim the colour of his penis,
recording the scene and posting it on social media,” she said.
She claims that the offenses violate Section 35 (1) of the
Oyo State Child Rights Law, 2006 and are penalized in accordance with Section
35 (2).
Arowosaye claimed that Section 516 of the Oyo State Criminal
Code Laws from 2000 was also violated by the offenses.
The Child Rights Law of 2006 stipulates that the sketch
creator faces a 15-year prison sentence if he is proven guilty of the crime.
