The trio, according to a police prosecutor, Peter Okerinmodun, is facing three counts bordering on fake kidnapping.
Ogundare had on July 5, 2017 put himself forward to be kidnapped for the purpose of causing breach of public peace, an offence the state said it is punishable under Section 5 of the Kidnapping Prohibition 2017, Laws of Lagos State.
Mohammed Babatunde and Abolanle Ogundare were also accused of counselling, abetting and procuring Mutiu Ogundare to fake his kidnap, thereby committing an offence under Section 7 (1) and (2) of the Kidnapping Prohibition 2017, Laws of Lagos State.
