A Lagos State High Court, sitting in Ikeja has sentenced the dethroned Baale of Shangisha in Magodo, Mutiu Ogundare, to fifteen years imprisonment for faking his own kidnap.

The court had on June 15 discharged  and acquitted the third defendant, Ogundare's wife, Abolanle that she had no link to the offences. 


Justice Hakeem Oshodi had on June 15 convicted Ogundare alongside his brother Opeyemi Mohammed on a three-count charge, bordering on conspiracy and fake kidnapping.


Justice Oshodi sentenced the duo to 10 years jail term for count one without an option of fine, count two to 1 year with an option of N200,000 fine and count three to 15 years without an option of fine.


The judge ordered that the sentencing shall run concurrently from the day they had been arrested.
