Music star, Davido has responded to the child trafficking and
abduction allegation raised against him by his baby mama, Ms Sophia
Momodu.
Davido said
Sophia exploited his youthfulness and naivety and generosity.
He equally stated that he would never marry Sophia and does not love
her. Davido further went on to explain why their child has remained in
the custody of his family.
“On a routine hospital check, my daughter was found to be
infested with massive dosage of poisonous cannabis that she contracted
from the breast feeding regime of her mother’s breast. We still don’t
know how much Imade was damaged by this toxic feeding and medical tests
and procedures continue to rise and bemuse me and my family members.
“Already, Imade has special needs and has been treated at the
American Hospital,Dubai with all medical costs and travel expenses drawn
off my personal purse ever since she was born,” Davido wrote in a statement signed by him.
Commenting on the December 29 incidence at the Muritala international
airport, the pop star questioned the right of Sophie’s uncle, Dele
Momodu to interfere in what he described as a domestic matter.
“I have just unbridled my life from her diabolical and shameless
stranglehold. She should find her own life and leave me alone. Her uncle
too should help her to quit the streets and find her a career. I am not
her meal ticket or ATM because she has a baby for me. I love Imade and
would do everything to defend this innocent baby that is being abused by
callous adults for extortion purposes,” he added.
Read Davido’s reply to Sophie.
In 2015 May, I became the father of a love-child. DNA testing
determined with maximum proof that I indeed was the father of my
daughter, delivered by a head-butting casual lover, Miss Sophia Momodu.
I met Sophia when I was barely 21 years old. She was many years older
than me and was able to manipulate and exploit my youth, naivety and
generosity.Sophia is the mother of my daughter, and no more ! She never
would be my wife and she was never qualified for that status. Her
background is very dissimilar from mine, and she has very paltry
education and equally diminished physical attributes.
Cunningly, she moved into my house because she claimed she has no
place to stay in Lagos and that her father is late and her mother is
resident in Abuja.
I have accepted what providence brought my way including my own
personal indiscretions. But I also have been burdened by the gave lapses
in the character of Sophia and have thus suffered for my daughter who I
love as much as my late mother, Imade.
As for the person of Sophia, I paid a two year rent for her apartment at
Lekki and she receives a monthly allowance of 300,000 naira from me
ever since Imade was born. This December, Sophia received 500,000 naira
as her Allowance and Christmas bonus.
On a routine hospital check, my daughter was found to be infested with
massive dosage of poisonous cannabis that she contracted from the breast
feeding regime of her mother’s breast. We still don’t know how much
Imade was damaged by this toxic feeding and medical tests and procedures
continue to rise and bemuse me and my family members.
Already, Imade has special needs and has been treated at the American
Hospital,Dubai with all medical costs and travel expenses drawn off my
personal purse ever sine she was born.
On December 29, Imade was supposed to travel, once more, to Dubai for
further medical care. A family vacation was attached to this medical
trip. But our family plan was truncated by Sophia, her uncle, Dele
Momodu in the company of his wife, and all these persons were the
significant accessory to the Lagos Airport debacle.
It is this incidence of December 29 that made implicitly necessary to
bring my family matter to the public domain. I agree, both parents have
to give simultaneous approval to the travel plans of an infant. But I do
not intend for Sophia to join me on this trip as if we are going away
on a spousal honeymoon. It is also fair to allow her to come along if
she could pay for the costs of her own trip.
Why must I bear medical expenses for my daughter as well as the
travel cost of her mum, who is neither my wife nor a friend at all? By
what authority or court documents was Dele Momodu enabled to stop my
child who embarked on a medical trip that would improve her wellness.
I
David, the father of the child was already available to attend to the
child’s care? Which Agency of government, as claimed by Dele Momodu and
his wife, issued the authority to deny my sister, myself, my daughter
and my dad on a rightful travel plan? And what has been the financial
stake of Uncle Dele Momodu over my daughter, ever since she was born.
I rented an apartment for his niece who is not my wife and I duly pay
monthly charges. What has uncle Dele Momodu done for my daughter or
even his niece? Momodu family also wants me to buy a car for a woman
who is not my wife and also an habitual and ceaseless night crawler who
is unable and unwilling to mother or even bathe her own child?
I am 23 years old now. Sophia got me and appropriated me at 21. I have
just unbridled my life from her diabolical and shameless stranglehold.
She should find her own life and leave me alone. Her uncle too should
help her to quit the streets and find her a career. I am not her meal
ticket or ATM because she has a baby for me. I love Imade and would do
everything to defend this innocent baby that is being abused by callous
adults for extortion purposes.
As for me, I feel bad that my dad, who had boarded Emirates and
was already issued a boarding pass but was forced to elect not to travel
anymore because his daughter and granddaughter were prevented from
travelling on December 29 by the Momodus. The passports of my daughter
and sister were impounded for no just cause. The airline has refused to
give a refund because my dad was already allocated a seat and boarding
pass. Calmly, he lost over One and half million naira for his First
class ticket. What is the loss to Uncle Dele Momodu in this matter ? But
more precisely, what is his gain ? But o know who the real losers are.
Our lawyers are looking into the books and digging for legal
recompense. The authority used by Uncle Dele Momodu is the callous
enforcement of corrupt practices in the conduct of an ordinary domestic
issue. Uncle Dele Momodu has boasted about possessing certain things he
knows about me and my family. I dare him to publish or perish whatever
he has in his pouch, globally !
