Actor Adeniyi Johnson has taken to his Instagram page to plead on behalf of Oyo-based skit maker, Abdullahi Adisa, better known as Trinity Guy.
The skit maker received a summon from the Oyo State Police Command last week over a disturbing prank video in which he recorded himself sexualising a minor.
The prankster however honoured the invitation on Friday, June 24 and was charged to court on Monday.
A Family Court sitting at Iyaganku, Ibadan ordered the remand of Trinity Guy and the minor’s parents at Agodi Correctional Centre over alleged sexual exploitation of the 10-year-old girl. They were arraigned on a two-count charge of conspiracy and sexual abuse and exploitation.
Reacting to the development, Adeniyi Johnson, via Instagram, pleaded with the authorities to temper justice with mercy. He added that though the skit maker’s action was wrong, he has learnt his lessons.
Adeniyi wrote: “Dear Nigerian police force and every other related agencies!!! many of us agree that our brother did what is wrong and absurd!! All I am pleading for is to TEMPER JUSTICE WITH MERCY. please @iamtrinityguy is a young man looking for what to eat legally but he incidentally fell on the wrong side of the law!!!
“Please be merciful as I know he has learnt already @nigerianpoliceforce.”
