The separated parents appeared before Justice Bashua’s family court in Yaba in Lagos State on Friday, 5th of July, 2024, as a hearing in the custody suit initiated by the Afrobeats artist got underway.
The multiple award-winning artist had recently dragged his ex-lover to court seeking unfettered and unrestricted access to Imade.
The motion, filed by the singer’s lawyers, Dr Olaniyi Arije, Okey Barrah and others, at the Lagos State High Court on 17th of April, 2024, listed Momodu as the sole respondent.
The award-winning artist had accused the mother of his first child of making demands intended to frustrate his efforts to see Imade.
The singer added that he has been fulfilling his paternal responsibilities to Imade over the years, including paying her school fees, providing transportation and even accommodation.
However, Momodu listed six reasons Davido shouldn’t be granted the child custody by the court of law.
The six reasons are below:
The Applicant cannot take proper care of our daughter because he lives a controversial lifestyle (negative media attention) that will expose our daughter to more negative trauma at her tender age.
The Applicant in his role as an artiste always travels and allows many unsavoury male adults around him and his house, who will not be a good influence on an impressionable young female child, like our daughter.
The Applicant disagreed with child therapy as the Applicant has been estranged from our daughter for a while and safely and sustainably establishing a meaningful presence in our daughter’s life is paramount.
The Applicant is an artist who always travels around the world as mandated by his career and cannot possibly be with our daughter at crucial times.
The Applicant is married to another woman, and they live together. The proper upbringing of our daughter by another cannot be guaranteed.
The fact that the Applicant lost his son in his house in rather unfortunate and questionable circumstances shows that our daughter cannot be placed in the custody of the Applicant.>>>CONTINUE FULL READING HERE
