Sophia Momodu claims Davido‘s sisters tried to kidnap Imade, their daughter, when she was three months old.
Davido and his ex-lover Sophia have recently been subjects
of media discourse in a court tussle over child custody.
The singer filed a motion through Olaniyi Arije and Okey
Barrah, his lawyers, at the Lagos high court on April 17, 2024.
He sought a court order granting him “unfettered and unrestricted access” to Imade who is aged nine.
Davido said he has been responsible for Imade’s education,
housing, transportation, living expenses, health care, and periodic travel.
He, however, expressed concern that Sophia has been causing
him emotional distress with her “utopian” demands.
He alleged that she also once denied him access to their
daughter for up to “two years”.
Last month, Momodu responded to Davido’s lawsuit, arguing
that she has never denied the singer access to their daughter.
Through her legal representatives Punuka Attorneys &
Solicitors and Bimpe Ajegbomogun & Co., she claimed Davido “repeatedly
threatened” to make her life “miserable” if she did not make herself “available
to him s#xually”.
In a legal document dated June 26, Sophia alleged that
Davido connived with his sisters to “try and kidnap three-months-old Imade out
of Nigeria”.
Momodu claimed Davido’s sisters tried to take her daughter
away from me “permanently” under the guise of a holiday.
She revealed that it took the intervention of the
immigration services to rescue Imade from Davido’s sisters.
Citing the incident, Sophia argued that the singer was “not
fit to be a father”.
Her narration partly reads: “The applicant has demonstrated
that he is not a fit father. He, in concert with his father and sisters, has
tried on many occasions to kidnap our daughter and take her outside Nigeria
and/or out of my reach without my consent.
“That at one time when our daughter was just three months
old, she was kidnapped by his sister under the pretence that she was being
taken on holiday by her whilst they were planning to take our daughter out of
the country and out of my reach permanently.
“Due to the
intervention of the Nigerian Immigration services, she was intercepted at the
airport and apprehended for falsely representing herself as our daughter’s
mother before they could leave the country, thus ensuring the safe return of
our daughter to my custody.”
