She insisted on having the children returned to Lagos. The police instructed Muffat to bring the children back, but after being released on bail, he failed to comply.
Subsequently, Muffat was rearrested and charged before the Ogba Magistrate Court for conduct likely to cause a breach of the peace.
He pleaded not guilty, and the presiding magistrate granted him bail under specific conditions. The case is set for mention on October 16, 2024.
