The custody battle between Nigerian singer Davido (David Adeleke) and Sophia Momodu over their daughter, Imade Adeleke, has seen further developments with Sophia's detailed counter-affidavit in response to Davido's request for joint custody or unrestricted access to Imade.
Davido's request was submitted through his legal team, aiming for joint custody or at least more accessible visitation rights to his daughter. Sophia, however, has contested this request in her counter-affidavit, arguing against granting custody to Davido for several reasons.
In her counter-affidavit, which spans 100 paragraphs and is part of the suit marked LD/1587PMC/2024, Sophia emphasizes her role in raising their daughter. She notes that Imade, being only nine years old, has been under her care and that she has been solely responsible for her welfare, upkeep, and overall well-being since birth.
Sophia expresses concern over Davido's lifestyle, which she describes as controversial and potentially harmful to Imade's development. She argues that exposing their daughter to this lifestyle could cause negative trauma, given her tender age. Sophia also mentions that Davido's profession as a musician requires frequent travel and involves the presence of various unsavoury adults, who she believes could be a bad influence on their young and impressionable daughter.
The case highlights the complexities and emotional challenges of custody dispute
"The Applicant disagreed with child therapy as the Applicant has been estranged from our daughter for a while and safely and sustainably establishing a meaningful presence in our daughter's life is paramount.
"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."
