Bashorun Dele Momodu was some
hours ago, forced to take to the social media once again, to correct what he
calls the injustice being meted out to his cousin Sophie Momodu in respect of
her being the mother of Imade her child fathered by Davido.
The Ovation International
magazine Publisher it will be recalled, had few days ago, stopped the Adeleke
family from taking baby Imade to America, without the consent of Sophie Momodu,
the undisputed mother of Imade. It all happened in a dramatic movie-like manner
at the Murtala Mohammed Airport, a scene that can only be likened to the type
found in Nollywood films.
But this was for real.
Narrating how the Adelekes
were stopped, Bashorun Dele Momodu was quoted to have said, “I called Uncle Wale and told him Sophie has plans to
stop the ‘American’ trip on the knowledge that David has collected an
American passport for the baby and the rumour that the baby was being abducted
to America. I pleaded that we should avoid a confrontation.
“I
headed to the airport to alert the authorities including Immigration and
Emirates. As predicted, the Adelekes arrived the airport with the baby where
Immigration had laid in wait for them. Coco came forward and was asked who the mother
of the baby was and she claimed ownership and her passport and that of the baby
were taken away by Immigration. Her dad was alerted and he came to the office
of the Comptroller with others to try and rescue the passports but the
Immigration stood their grounds. I saw him making frantic calls but he gave up
after the flight departed. He repeated the same boast that no one could ever
take the baby from him and I told him to stop talking like God.”
In a new development Dele
Momodu as he is more fondly called, posted on social media that his cousin has
once again been scandalised with “laboratory result alleging she's a cannabis smoker was
splashed everywhere in newspapers and the social media. She was said to have
infected her own baby with cannabis. The vicious authors expected some gullible
people to believe them. Nothing could have been cruellest. Our initial reaction
was to maintain the ceasefire, but this latest attack against a defenceless
lady who merely asked that she be allowed to enjoy the fruit of motherhood was
the limit of recklessness and rascality. All sensible human beings should abhor
and condemn this unwarranted fabrication of endless lies just to justify the
act of forcefully detaching a baby from her biological mother. Check this picture
well. That's baby Imade with her aunt Ashley Adeleke who took her to Dubai a
few months ago against her mother's consent. The world has been told that the
baby was so sick that she needed urgent medical attention in Dubai.”
The senior Momodu went further
to state that, “Imade's
mother was deprived of attending personally to her own baby. Now wait for this;
just imagine you're the hapless mum of Imade; instead of receiving regular
medical briefs from Ashley the Good Samaritan, you receive pictures of your own
baby swimming with Ashley Coco inside the heavenly pool of Atlantis, The Palm
Dubai, one of the most luxurious resorts in the world while anxiety is killing
you back home. Baby Imade has been forcefully separated from her mum since July
11, 2015, when she was barely two months old. We've pleaded for months with the
Adelekes to return the baby to her real mum. Sophie was allowed to visit her
daughter once a week every Sunday inside Dr Adeleke's guest quarters. We did
not fight. We did not engage in social media wars. They said our family was too
poor and beneath their status. We did not mind. They said Sophie was a
gold-digger, we did not respond. We only kicked when Baby Imade was to be taken
out again without the mum's necessary consent. No one asked them to take Sophie
along. We only tried to stop the impunity and dehumanisation of a poor mother.
We acted within the ambit of the law. No more.”
But where will this‘baby fight'
