Davido and Sophie Momodu
PUNCH Metro had reported on
Friday that 27-year-old Sophia had petitioned the National Agency for the
Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other related offences, alleging that
her daughter was abducted.
The petition, which was signed by her lawyer, Gbolaga Ajayi, of
S. O. AJAYI & Co, alleged that the Adeleke family was planning to take
Imade from her mother to the United States.
Davido had, however, faulted the claim, saying he was only
taking his daughter for medical treatment in Dubai. He claimed that Sophia infected Imade with cannabis during
breastfeeding, adding that the baby’s life was at risk.
The artiste on Sunday released a pathology report from the
Clina-Lancet Laboratories, a medical facility on the Victoria Island area of
Lagos State.
The report, dated July 12, 2015, indicated that Sophia tested
positive for cannabis.
Davido accused her of neglecting their daughter, saying it was
the reason the child was taken from her.
He said, “Imade was in her custody for two months, unchallenged
and uninterrupted, until the baby took ill in July. Imade cried ceaselessly for
48 hours. She was rushed to the hospital where her condition confounded medical
experts. Several tests were conducted on her and later on the mother.
“Medical reports proved that Sophia’s blood was polluted with
cannabis and she had, during the process of breastfeeding, infected her child
with complicated medical conditions associated with the use of alcohol and cannabis.
The trouble spot for Imade was her lungs. She had difficulty breathing largely
because of the contaminated breast milk and the severity of the “second-hand
smoke” of marijuana inhaled by the poor child.
“The medical experts at the hospital were enraged and declared
the mother unfit for nursing the baby. The team determined that they would hand
over the baby to the Lagos State Government. My family pleaded with the
hospital management. Sophia too was sober and contrite. We pleaded that the
baby would be kept from the mother and that we would take over responsibilities
for Imade’s welfare.”
Davido said Sophia voluntarily gave up the child to his family
pending when her system would be cleansed.
Davido, who claimed to have been paying Sophia 300,000 per month,
alleged that she increased her demand to N1m per month, which he said he could
not pay.
He expressed anger that Imade was not allowed to travel to Dubai
on December 29 after immigration officials, acting on a tip-off, stopped them
at the airport.
“If Imade had not gone to Dubai (the first time), it is fair to
say that she may not be alive today. Still, some people prevented her from
keeping a follow-up appointment at the American Hospital in Dubai on December
29. My family refused to pay for Sophia’s flight ticket and as such Imade was
prevented from travelling for her treatment,” he said.
However, Sophia, in a series of Tweets, had denied that her
daughter was infected with any disease, adding that they were all excuses to
take Imade from her.
She explained that she had been invited to a meeting where the
cannabis claim was made.
She said, “On September 15, David’s dad invited us for a meeting
that had in attendance two of his friends and Coco (his daughter).
“In that meeting, David’s dad apologised for the way I was
treated in Coco’s residence and said the reason the baby was taken was because
medical tests detected marijuana in Imade’s system and he needed to protect her
from me and David.
“I couldn’t understand that because I don’t smoke marijuana and
I objected at that meeting, but I was told to stay calm.
