'He was just looking for what to eat' -Adeniyi Johnson pleads on behalf of Trinity Guy

Nollywood actor Adeniyi Johnson has asked the Nigerian police to balance justice with mercy in skitmaker Trinity Guy's ongoing case.

The comedian is currently being held in custody in Ibadan for his risky prank in which he abused a child.

Taking to his Instagram page to react to the development, Adeniyi Johnson urged the Nigerian police to temper justice with mercy.

While he was aware of how bad and stupid what Trinity done was, he stated that Trinity's sole concern was trying to make ends meet in order to stay alive.

Adeniyi claimed that because of his fight for survival, he ended up on the wrong side of the law hence he should be pardoned.

“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”.

He should punished together with the parents of the girl."
