Davido vs Babymama: Popstar Storms NAPTIP Office, Says It’s Family Affair
There are indications that the Hip-Hop star, David Adeleke,
popularly known as Davido, and his Babymama, Sophia Momodu,
are already working with the National Agency for the Prohibition in Trafficking
of Persons, NAPTIP, in order to resolve the feud over the custody of
their baby, Imade, repots Vanguard.
A source from the agency told Vanguard, yesterday,
that the warring parties are cooperating with the agency to end the face-off as
soon as possible.
This is coming on the heels of the 23-year-old pop singer’s
visit to the Lagos State office of NAPTIP, yesterday. His father, Dr. Deji
Adeleke was said to have stormed the NAPTIP office earlier in the week. So also
were Dele Momodu and Sophia.
Though the details of Davido’s meeting with the officials of
the agency are yet to be ascertained, it was, however, gathered that the pop
star arrived the office of NAPTIP at 11:07a.m., yesterday.
When contacted on the telephone, Davido, who was recently
hospitalised due to stress, declined to comment on the outcome of his visit to
the NAPTIP office, insisting that it was a family affair and a personal
problem.
However, speaking on a condition of anonymity, a source from
the NAPTIP office, told Vanguard, yesterday, that the agency is
still investigating the matter.
“I cannot tell you the outcome of the meeting because the
agency is still investigating the matter and the parties involved are
cooperating with us. We are talking about the future of a child here, and
everything has to be done to protect the child,” the source said.
It will be recalled that Sophia, through her lawyers,
yesterday, requested the original copy of the alleged medical report that
Davido published during the week from Clina Lancet laboratory.
The singer had alleged that a pathology test was conducted,
in which it was determined that his daughter, Imade, was fed with breast milk
contaminated with cannabis.
Meanwhile, in a series of tweets, Monday, Sophia, who is
also a relation of the publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele
Momodu, challenged both Davido and his family to publish the alleged medical
report, stating that she took cannabis which had infected her seven-month old
baby.
Davido, last Sunday, rebuffed claims by his estranged lover,
Sophia Momodu on the circumstances surrounding the removal of their daughter,
Imade, from Sophia’s custody.
In a statement released, yesterday, by the Human
Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, the body urged the parties to
sheathe their swords and use constructive and private means to find lasting
resolution so as to respect and edify the constitutional dignity and
fundamental human rights of the little baby.
“We have observed with considerable trepidation and
disappointment the media brickbats and unnecessary spat between the highly
successful celebrity musical performer known by his stage name of Davido and
the high profile publisher and respected columnist/political activist, Chief
Dele Momodu, over a child’s custody disagreement involving the musician; his
erstwhile female companion, Ms Sophie, who is reportedly the cousin to Dele
Momodu over a child, little baby of seven months, called Imade.”
