Sophia Momodu has filed a counter affidavit through her legal team in response to a lawsuit by Nigerian musician David Adeleke, known as Davido, over the custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke.
In June 2024, reports indicated that Davido had filed a lawsuit seeking a court order for joint custody of their daughter, Imade, and unrestricted access to her.
Davido’s lawsuit alleges that Momodu demanded he pay the nanny she hired a monthly salary of $800, totaling $19,600 annually, which he considers excessive.
He also claimed that Momodu has consistently treated him with cruelty, causing him significant emotional distress.
In an immediate response released by her lawyers, Sophia denied Davido’s claims of being denied access to their daughter.
She clarified that she only denied him access to her own body, leading him to cut off contact with their daughter.
Sophia formally responded by filing a counter affidavit through her legal team, Dr. Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr. Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
The affidavit, filed on April 17, 2024, with suit number LD/1587PMC/2024, names Davido as the applicant and Sophia Momodu as the respondent, marking the beginning of a legal battle over their child’s custody.
The hearing continues today, Friday, July 5, 2024.
