The Oyo State Police Command has formally invited online comedian Abdullahi Maruf Adisa, also known as Trinity Guy, in connection with a prank video that involved an underaged.
This was disclosed on twitter by the Oyo police on Thursday.
“Popular content creator, Abdullahi Maruf Adisa, AKA Trinity, has been contacted and invited to the Oyo State Police Command in connection with the disturbing viral skit content making the rounds across the Social Media space concerning a female minor. Updates would be provided soon,” the tweet read.
The skit maker caught the eyes of the spokesperson of the Nigerian Police, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who requested his arrest over a recent prank video where he scared passersby with fake ‘gunshots’.
The Force PRO had previously warned skit makers who rely on pranks for their content, urging them to regulate their actions as they threaten Nigerians’ lives. On Monday, he posted a video on Instagram calling for his arrest.
He urged people affected by the skitmaker’s’ pranks to report him to the authorities.
“This doesn’t make any sense, and I think the guy should have been arrested. Those individuals who feel the heat and fear of the pranks should report the pranksters, as many of their pranks are criminal, immoral, and evil. These women have a good case against him,” he wrote.
Writing further, he said, “We have warned them several times. When nothing happens, nothing happens, but when something happens, consequences will surely follow. They will soon realise the dangers attributed to the excessiveness of doing unguided pranks.”
