Sophia Momodu, the mother of Davido’s daughter, has urged the Lagos State High Court in Sabo, Yaba, to deny the musician’s request for custody of their child.
In a counter-affidavit filed in response to Davido’s lawsuit, Momodu argued that the singer is unfit to be granted custody due to his consistent unavailability and lack of capacity to provide proper care for their daughter.
Momodu contended that throughout their relationship, Davido demonstrated a lack of genuine interest and dedication to their child’s well-being, indicating that he is not a suitable caregiver.
By opposing Davido’s custody bid, Momodu seeks to ensure their daughter’s best interests are protected and that she receives the necessary care and attention..
The section reads:
“No person must publish the name, address, school, photograph, or anything likely to lead to the identification of a child in a matter before the court, except as required by the provisions of this law.”
He further referred to Section 145 of the Child Rights Law, which provides: “The proceedings in the court must be conducive to the best interest of the child and must be conducted in an atmosphere of understanding, allowing the child to express himself and participate in the proceedings.”
Momodu, in the counter-affidavit, also faulted the publication of the suit in a national newspaper.
“The applicant (Davido) in publishing this suit in a national newspaper has exposed our daughter to great danger.
“I would have to implement extra security measures to ensure the continued safety of our daughter in school”.
