Comedian Trinity Guy has come under heavy criticism online following the release of a new skit that depicts an attack by Fulani herdsmen.
The comedian, who recently made headlines after jumping on stage to meet Davido, sparked fresh controversy by using Nigeria’s insecurity crisis as the theme of his latest content.
In the skit, Trinity Guy is seen driving along a secluded road near the bush when he unexpectedly encounters Fulani herdsmen. He quickly reverses his car and begins speaking Hausa, a move that changes the situation in his favour.
Realising he speaks Hausa, the herdsmen engage him in a friendly conversation. Trinity Guy tells them he is travelling to Sokoto, which further endears him to them. In the skit, they even hand him a gun and show him how to use it.
Things take a dramatic turn when his phone rings and a ringtone in Yoruba language gives him away. The herdsmen then question his identity, and they suddenly turn hostile.
The skit ends with the herdsmen attacking him with a gun as he tries to flee, suggesting he is about to be kidnapped or killed an ending that has triggered backlash from viewers who described the content as insensitive and inappropriate given the country’s ongoing security challenges.

Under no circumstance should such a serious issue be trivialized. No comic relief, no jokes, nothing about it is funny. I’m not a sad person, but we are living through a deeply sad and dangerous situation. While we hope the INCAPABLE government solve the situation, it is our role to be emotionally intelligent. A pastor died in captivity yesterday, nothing is funnny .”
talk2raw uttered; “Serious matter dey always turn to content and cruise…. people are getting killed. It’s not a funny situation biko. .”
