Trinity Guy had caught the attention of the Spokesman of the Nigerian Police, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who requested his arrest over a recent prank video where he scared passersby with ‘gunshots’

In that particular skit, Trinity Guy feigned he was under attack from gunmen.

Unaware it was a prank, passers-by were seen scampering for safety from the supposed attack.

The video generated outrage on social media, with many people calling out the comedian for the “extreme prank”.

In the prank involving a minor, the skit maker was seen asking a visibly scared little girl of about 8 years to tell him the colour of his private part.

The video has been drawing massive condemnation on social media.

Retweeting the video, Adejobi called for the arrest of Trinity Guy, saying he should be detained and charged in court.

The force image maker had previously warned skit makers who use pranks for a living to regulate them because they endanger Nigerian lives.

Meanwhile, Trinity Guy has spoken up on the demand for his arrest by Adejobi.

In a new video posted on Facebook on Thursday, the skit maker expressed gratitude to his followers and also appreciated Adejobi for his fatherly role in calling pranksters who go overboard with their craft to order.

He said, “Good morning to you guys. My name is Abdullahi, popularly known as Trinity Guy. I would love to use this opportunity to appreciate everyone who has been calling and showing concern about the misconception about my work and person.

“I’d equally love to show appreciation to my fans all over the world, my colleagues and Nigeria police; most especially my daddy, Mr Adejobi Olumuyiwa for his fatherly roles, for calling my attention to some areas where I needed to work on and to amend.

“His effort in safeguarding the nation is truly inspiring and appreciated. Thank you very much, sir. May God bless you and every one of us. Thank you, sir.”
