A 49-year-old man, Muffat Inyang, was on Friday arraigned by the Lagos Police before an Ikeja Chief Magistrate’s Court for allegedly relocating his children to another state without the consent of their mother.
The Prosecutor, Insp John Iberedem, told the court that the defendant, who lives in the Oshodi area of Lagos, committed the offence on October 30, 2023, at about noon in December.
Iberedem said that the defendant relocated his three children to the custody of a third party in Akwa Ibom without the consent of their biological mother. He said Inyang conducted himself in a manner likely to cause a breach of peace with such an act even though he and the children’s mother were not living together.
