David Adeleke, the 23-year-old pop artiste
popularly known as Davido has rebuffed claims
by his estranged lover, Sophia Momodu on the
circumstances surrounding the removal of their
daughter, Imade, from Sophia’s custody.

In a lengthy narrative issued last night, Adeleke
alleged that Sophia had been in weekly contact
with Imade up till last week and claimed that
hospital authorities had sought to transfer the
baby to officials of the Lagos State Children
Welfare Authority on account of alleged drug use
by Sophia.

Adeleke in his narrative said the hospital
authorities recanted only after Sophia agreed to
surrender the baby for care with him, saying his
estranged lover had kept to the agreement until
she recanted last week as she insisted on going
along with the Adeleke family for the treatment
and family vacation in Dubai.

Adeleke in the narrative poured invectives on the
respected veteran journalist, Dele Momodu, who
he accused of not taking care of his niece,
Sophia, alleging that Mr. Momodu and his wife
entered the scene as busybodies who he
claimed did not bother about the welfare of their
niece until she had a baby for him.

Vowing that he was manipulated by Sophia and
that he would never marry her, he accused his
estranged live-in lover of debauchery, saying that
he was a well brought up man who would not
condone such attributes of a woman as a wife.

Efforts to get Mr. Momodu’s reaction to the
development were unfruitful as he did not
respond to SMS and phone calls at press time.
He said: “In May, the same month Imade was
born, Sophia settled in her fancy apartment for
which I paid a hefty bill for a 2 year lease. Her
baby was healthy. And she seemed happy. I
would take care of all the financial needs of
Imade and still pay Sophia a living allowance of
N300,000 plus utility bills.

“Within a matter of weeks, Sophia missing and
lusting for the streets of Lagos, especially the
glitzy night life. She often left Imade home for
clubbing, binge drinking and a life of debauchery
and deviant living. She would sleep all day and
party all night. When awake, she was addicted to
the telephone and cannabis. She paid the baby
no attention at all and seems to despise
motherhood and parenting.

Blood polluted to the maximum level with
cannabis

Imade was in her custody for two straight
months, unchallenged and uninterrupted, until the
baby took badly and severely ill in July. Imade
cried, ceaselessly, for 48 hours. She was rushed
to the hospital where her condition confounded
medical experts. Several tests were conducted
on her and later on the mother. Medical reports,
herein attached, proved that Sophia’s blood was
polluted to the maximum level with cannabis and
she had by the process of breast feeding
infected her child with complicated medical
conditions associated with the use of alcohol
and especially cannabis.

“The trouble spot for Imade was her lungs. She
had difficulty breathing largely because of the
contaminated breast milk and the severity of the
“Second Smoke” of marijuana inhaled by the
poor child.

“The medical experts at the hospital were
enraged by the callous treatment of Imade by
her own mother and declared her unfit for the
caring and the nursing of a delicate baby. The
team determined that they would hand over the
baby to the Children’s Welfare Authority of Lagos
State Government. My family started to plead
with the hospital management. For the first time,
Sophia too was sober, sorry and contrite. We
pleaded that the baby would be kept from the
mother once she was returned to us, and that we
would take over responsibilities for Imade’s
welfare.

“Voluntarily, Sophia, in the attempt to avoid the
handing over of the baby to the children welfare
authority, agreed to a compromise position that
she would transfer Imade to the Adeleke family
until the cannabis in the systems of both mum
and daughter was completely out and
comprehensively cleaned out.

“The medical expert also indicated that the full
damage to Imade’s person could not be
ascertained right away and that her mental state
now or in the future could not be determined nor
predicted, until perhaps when she would have
attained adulthood. This was why and how Imade
was transferred to the custody of the Adeleke
family.

Imade flown to hospital in Dubai

“Meanwhile, Imade was increasingly worse off in
wellness and she had to be flown to the
American hospital in Dubai. I wrote a letter of
release authorizing my sister to travel to Dubai
with Imade. The hospital saved Imade who was
returned to Nigeria with a medical equipment
that had to be used daily to enable Imade to gain
restful sleep and balanced respiratory rhythm.
The photograph of this equipment is hereby
attached.

“If Imade had not gone to Dubai, it is fair to say
that she may not be alive today. Still, some
people prevented her from keeping a follow-up
appointment at the American Hospital in Dubai.
For the silliest possible reason. My family would
not pay for Sophia’s flight ticket and thus Imade
would be disallowed from traveling for the vital
purpose of medical conditions that lend oxygen
to her life.”

“The claim has been made that the aborted trip
to Dubai was to take Imade to America. This is
not true. Imade’s Nigerian passport is right now
with the Immigration Office with no American
Visa embossed on it and Imade, though qualified
to possess an American Passport because her
dad is an American citizen, still does not possess
an American passport. True, her passport is
being processed but the truancy of her mother
has caused a major delay. I therefore ask, how
will Imade have entered America without a visa
on her Nigerian passport?

“The only reason why some of us are dancing
naked in the market place today, is because
Sophia’s request to go to Dubai on my ticket was
declined. She is demanding for her new car and
a raise of her allowance to one million naira per
month. The sole reason why she’s demanding for
the custody of Imade is to justify the necessity
for this delusional one million naira. A domestic
matter that could have been quietly and sensibly
settled has been tossed to the public domain
with the brutal consequences to the most
innocent actor in this drama, Imade.

“From December 23-28, Sophia lived at my
father’s Lekki residence in peace, except for the
first one hour when a medication was misapplied
by her and Imade speedily vomited for a fearfully
long time. Sophia did not know how to even
bathe her own baby. She brought a friend to stay
with her in a 3-bedroom flat with a resident
professional nurse and nanny. Overall, her stay
was joyful and in alignment with the thrills of the
Christmas holiday season.

“On December 29, less than 24 hours of leaving
my father’s house, Sophia was at the airport in
the company of her uncle and his wife with
malice aforethought and the aim to do maximum
damage that would obstruct her child from
travelling aboard to receive necessary and
needful medical care. She was welcome to join
us if she had bought her ticket or her uncle had
funded her for the trip.

“ I offered to buy her a car and suggested a
Toyota brand or Hyundai. She lost her cool and
told me off. She wanted a fancy jeep and
preferably, a Mercedes Benz Jeep. I laughed
because she just wanted to be a Lagos Big Girl
for nothing. She hardly can cope with the
cheapest car much less the ruinous cost of
maintaining a Mercedes Benz vehicle. In
December she received 500,000 naira as her
allowance without doing anything for Imade. Life
is not a bed of roses. Neither have I ever
promised Sophia a rose garden. Her spontaneous
motions of delusions utterly baffle me!

“On her twitter page, she claimed she has
recovered Imade from captivity. But Imade never
was in captivity. Sophia certainly knows where
Imade is. And it is where she left her on
December 28, at my father’s house. What is the
lie about? Sophia also claimed that she hasn’t
seen her daughter in 5 months, this cannot be
true. Sophie spent every Sunday with her baby at
my father’s house since July 2015 when she
voluntarily transferred Imade to the Adeleke
family after the cannabis incidence. She and her
daughter constantly appear on her face book and
twitter pages throughout this period of 5 months.
What manner of unreliable and lying person is
Sophia? The picture of your reconciliation with
Imade after “captivity” that you posted on your
twitter page came directly from the photo shoot
that you posed for at my father’s house during
your Christmas stay. Why can’t you ever be
affable with truth nor have a relationship with
honour?

“Uncle Dele Momodu was the first to bring this
domestic matter online and onto the internet.
Uncle Dele Momodu ran smack into the internet
highway on December 30 with Video recordings
that he dishonestly, immorally and unlawfully
recorded at a government facility and office at
the Murtala Mohammed International Airport,
Lagos. Uncle, you are wrong and you are not
doing the right thing.

“Life is beautiful if we all live in simple ways and
do not engage criminal gadgets to replace
integrity and honour. Your recordings cannot
alter the fact that I am “Davido” father of Imade
and it cannot force me to be the husband of
your cousin. In truth, I don’t know if you are
uncle or cousin to Sophia. Still, Uncle Dele
Momodu, it is immoral, unlawful and unethical to
clandestinely record anyone, especially friends
and family members.

“Late evening on December 30, I responded to
your vicious internet publications that attacked
me and my family. But my father’s counsel and
the love I have for Imade prompted me to recall
the arrow aimed at you. You see, my father
raised me well, and I promptly complied with his
advise. I thus deleted all references to the issue
of December 29 at the Airport and apologized to
you in particular along with all my fans. I showed
you respect even if u had provoked me.

“Instead of reciprocating with love and elderly
wisdom, you sustained your attack of me with
even more venom and hatefulness. With all due
respect for my dad, I am compelled to speak to
your lies and your simulation of grand self-
importance. I am 23 and you are almost 60. Your
cousin has a baby for me. Rather than bring us
together as a family, you wished for glowing
embers to come out of cool cucumber. This is
why you instructed your lawyers to put garbage
on the internet in a matter that should be
showcased in the court of law. Uncle, who
offended you? Is it Davido, Sophia or Imade? It
cannot be my late mum after whom I named
Imade. Is it my gentle dad?

“I am 23 and a performing artiste that God
immensely blessed and I have joyfully made good
in the industry. I won’t do this forever, and I shall
timely step aside in the nearest future. I have a
degree and I am stashing my monies aside so
that I can build a decent future for Imade plus
my future wife and family. I believe as the bible
says, “every good gift is from above”.
