Sophia Momodu, the estranged baby mother of the popular hip hop act, David Adeleke, popularly known as “Davido” has denied the allegation that she is a notorious smoker of marijuana, otherwise known as “Igbo”, saying it was a mere ploy to snatch her baby away from her custody.
In a series of tweets left on her handle on Monday, Sophia who is also a relative of the publisher of Ovation Magazine, Dele Momodu, challenged both Davido and his family to publish the alleged medical report stating that she takes cannabis which has infected her seven-month old baby.
In her narration, the 27-year old claimed her daughter; Imade Adeleke was deceitfully taken away from her when she honoured an invitation to visit the family sometimes in July, 2015.
“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. After the meeting, his dad requested I leave my seven-month-old baby with him and told me I could come around to check her anytime. He also promised to pay me some upkeep and provide me with a car.
“I had to accept because I felt they had good intentions and since I could come to check my baby anytime, it was okay by me. They kept to their promise of the upkeep, but not the car. I didn’t bother since I could afford one. All that matter was my baby.
“Cannabis was never found in my system; it was a concocted lie to steal away my baby. I don’t smoke; I have never smoked weed let alone smoke while breastfeeding,” the baby mother said.
It would be recalled that the Davido, 23, and his wife had been embroiled in a messy fight over allegations of child trafficking lodged against him by both Sophia and his uncle, Dele Momodu at the office of National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) in Lagos.
The development led to the refusal of NAPTIP officers to allow Imade to be taken on medical trip to Dubai, last week when Davido and his sister, Coco were perfecting plans at Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
