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 sexually”.

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.”
