Nigerian public opinion remains divided as Sophia Momodu mounts a robust legal defense against Davido's bid for joint custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke. This high-profile custody battle underscores ongoing debates about paternal rights, parenting responsibilities, and legal obligations in Nigeria.
Sophia Momodu, through her legal representatives at Punuka Attorneys, has filed a detailed 102-paragraph affidavit in response to Davido's lawsuit, which seeks joint custody and unrestricted access to their daughter Imade. The lawsuit, initiated by Davido on April 17, 2024, aims to establish his right to be actively involved in his daughter's upbringing despite his relationship with Sophia having ended years ago.
Davido, legally known as David Adeleke, has emphasized his financial support for Imade, arguing that he has consistently provided for her needs. He contends that Sophia's demands, including an $800 monthly salary for a nanny, are excessive. Additionally, he has accused Sophia of mistreating him and creating barriers to his involvement in their daughter's life.
In her legal response, Sophia Momodu's defense team, led by Dr. Anthony Idigbe SAN and Dr. Bimpe Ajegbomogun, seeks to protect her custodial rights and challenge Davido's assertions. The affidavit aims to provide a comprehensive rebuttal to Davido's claims and uphold Sophia's position as the primary caregiver for Imade.
The case has sparked significant public interest, with many Nigerians weighing in on the implications of joint custody and the responsibilities of both parents. The next court hearing, scheduled for July 5, 2024, is expected to shed more light on the legal arguments from both sides and potentially set a precedent for similar custody battles in the future.
As the legal proceedings continue, the case highlights the complexities and emotional stakes involved in custody disputes, particularly when they involve high-profile individuals. Both Davido and Sophia Momodu are likely to face intense scrutiny as they navigate this challenging legal landscape, with the best interests of their daughter at the forefront of the debate.
