Amid the custody battle over Imade Adeleke, prominent businesswoman Sophia Momodu has explained why their daughter is not secure with her father, Davido.
This statement comes after Sophia submitted a counter-102-paragraph declaration challenging Davido’s plea for shared custody of their child.
In the affidavit presented by her legal team, Dr. Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr. Bimpe Ajegbomogun, Sophia highlighted several reasons why Imade is safer with her. Among the reasons cited, she referred to the tragic home accident roughly two years ago in which Davido lost his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
Sophia Momodu provides reasons why Davido should not have shared custody of their daughter.
The counter affidavit reads in part;
“The Applicant is an artist who always travels around the world as mandated by his career and cannot possibly be with our daughter at crucial times.
“The Applicant is married to another woman, and they live together. The proper upbringing of our daughter by another cannot be guaranteed.
“The fact that the Applicant lost his son in his house in rather unfortunate and questionable circumstances shows that our daughter cannot be placed in the custody of the Applicant.”
“That I know as a fact that the Applicant is not fit to be granted custody of our daughter because he is not available and does not possess the ability to dutifully care for her.”
“She explained that her relationship with the Applicant begun in 2014 which led to the birth of their daughter in the year 2015, “that we broke up in the year 2017 and sometimes in 2020 we made up and the relationship was finally ended in 2022”.
“According to her, throughout the checkered history of their relationship, she had always attempted to break up with the Applicant as “I was tired of his lies and unfaithfulness, but he always used the withdrawal of his fatherly duties and maintenance for our daughter as a pawn to force me to resume the sexual relationship with him.”
