Sophia filed a counter affidavit over Davido’s decision to have joint custody

Sophia Momodu has filed a counter affidavit via her legal team in response to a lawsuit by Davido over joint custody of their daughter.

The legal dispute began when Davido filed a lawsuit seeking a court order granting him joint custody of his daughter and unrestricted access to her.

In the lawsuit, Davido alleged that Momodu had consistently treated him with cruelty and caused him significant emotional pain. He also claimed that Momodu demanded he pay the nanny she hired a monthly salary of $800, equivalent to $19,600 annually, which he deemed excessive.

Momodu swiftly responded to the allegations, denying that she had denied Davido access to their daughter. Instead, she claimed that she only denied him access to her body, and he subsequently cut off contact with their daughter as a result.

Momodu’s legal team, Dr. Anthony Idigbe, SAN of Punuka Attorneys and Dr. Bimpe Ajegbomogun, filed a 102-paragraph counter affidavit in response to Davido’s lawsuit.

The counter affidavit, filed on April 17, 2024, and bearing the suit number LD/1587PMC/2024, marks the beginning of an intense legal battle over the child’s custody. The document presents a detailed account of the events leading up to the dispute, highlighting Momodu’s efforts to facilitate a harmonious co-parenting relationship and Davido’s alleged reluctance to fulfil his parental responsibilities.

The next hearing is slated for Friday, July 5, 2024.
