Sophia Files 102-Paragraph Affidavit To Tackle Singer, Davido Over Joint Custody of Daughter
Sophia Momodu has filed her defence in a lawsuit insisted by a Nigerian musician, Davido, whose real name is David Adeleke over custody of their daughter, Aurora Imade Adeleke.
Naijablitznews had earlier reported that the case was initiated by Davido who wanted the joint custody of Imade.
The legal action, filed on April 17, 2024, and bearing the suit number LD/1587PMC/2024, names Davido as the applicant and Sophia Momodu as the respondent, marking the beginning of a legal battle over the child’s custody.
Davido, through his legal action, is seeking a court order granting him joint custody of his daughter, Imade, and unrestricted access to her.
While acknowledging that his relationship with Sophia Momodu, Imade’s mother, ended several years ago, Davido emphasised that he had consistently fulfilled his financial responsibilities towards their child’s well-being, demonstrating his commitment to Imade’s care and support.
By seeking joint custody and unfettered access, Davido aimed to ensure a continued active role in his daughter’s life.
Davido also alleged that Momodu demanded he pay the nanny she hired a monthly salary of $800, equivalent to $19,600 annually, which he deemed excessive.
Despite his efforts to provide for their daughter’s well-being, Davido claimed that Momodu has consistently treated him with cruelty and caused him significant emotional pain.
In light of these circumstances, Davido is seeking a court order granting him joint custody of their daughter, Imade Adeleke, to ensure a more collaborative and harmonious approach to her care and upbringing.
It was learnt further that Sophia Momodu, in her response to the singer’s case, filed a 102 paragraphs of counter affidavit via her legal team Dr Anthony Idigbe SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr Bimpe Ajegbomogun.
The next hearing is slated for Friday, 5th of July, 2024

Popular Nigerian singer Timaya has described late Afrobeat pioneer Fela Anikulapo-Kuti as one of the major figures responsible for the global growth of Nigerian music.
Timaya made the remarks while speaking on the Afrobeats Intelligence podcast, where he reflected on Fela’s influence on Nigerian artistes and the wider African music scene.
The singer said Fela’s contribution to music had gone beyond Nigeria, noting that the late musician continued to command significant recognition in other African countries.
According to Timaya, Fela’s music and legacy remain particularly respected in Cameroon, where he claimed a radio programme is dedicated to playing his songs on weekends.
Without Fela, nobody would have known us and we wouldn’t be here singing music. I call him Baba because he didn’t inspire only me and other Nigerians,” Timaya said.
The singer added that Fela’s impact on Nigerian music was so significant that he could not disrespect the late musician or members of his family.
Fela is the greatest man I can never in my life disrespect him nor his family,” he added.
Timaya’s comments highlight the enduring influence of Fela, whose music, activism and Afrobeat sound have continued to shape generations of Nigerian and African musicians.
Nigerian gospel artiste Nutty Josh, whose real name was Joshua Acheme Edache, has passed away following reports of a severe road accident that left him in a medical coma for nearly a month.
Kingdomboiz had earlier reported that the exact circumstances surrounding his death had not been independently confirmed, and that further details were being awaited.
New information obtained from people familiar with the situation reveals that Nutty Josh sustained injuries during an incident at a motorcycle training school in Abuja about five weeks before his death.
A runaway driver was reportedly involved in the accident. However, contrary to an earlier account, the driver was not riding a power bike.
Following the incident, he experienced persistent headaches and difficulty breathing, although the seriousness of these symptoms was reportedly not immediately known to those around him.
At one point, Nutty Josh appeared to be recovering and attended church, where he testified about how God had helped him through the incident.
However, upon his return to the hospital afterwards, medical professionals discovered that he had also sustained internal injuries.
He subsequently underwent further examination and treatment, and was later placed in a medically induced coma.
Sadly, he passed away on Sunday morning, September 20, 2026.
These details describe the events preceding his death and should not be interpreted as an officially confirmed medical cause of death.
While family members have yet to release an official detailed statement regarding the final medical cause of death, tributes continue to pour in from fans and fellow artists honoring his contributions to gospel music.
Kingdomboiz appreciates those who provided clearer information concerning the situation and extends its heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, colleagues, and everyone affected by his passing.
His popular songs include:
· “Thankful” (featuring Onos)
· “Never Let You Go” (featuring Henrisoul)
· “Ainya”
· “OMG”
· “Way Maker”
