Nigerian media giant Dele Momodu has revealed why his niece Sophia Momodu rejected singer Davido’s dad’s offer of accommodation to her and their daughter Imade.
Taking to his X handle to provide information on the custody battle between Davido and his niece, Momodu disclosed that David’s father Dr Adedeji Adeleke offered one of the family’s apartments in Oniru Estate, Victoria Island but was turned down.
He shared that Sophia Momodu rejected the offer because she wouldn’t be comfortable “living in a place swarming with David’s family members” since they were not married.
“David’s Dad verbally offered, in his discussions with me, one of their family apartments in Oniru Estate, Victoria Island, however, maybe due to miscommunication, David’s lawyers had communicated otherwise.
“After Sophia clarified from me, she politely declined the offer, and her reason was tenable in my view, because, since she’s not married to David, she can’t be comfortable living in a place swarming with David’s family members.
“She and her daughter had been living in Ikoyi before David and Sophia started their latest quarrels. Sophia’s request was that David should pay half of the accommodation while she would pay the other half.
“David said he could only contribute N5million annually. My opinion is that the absence of camaraderie between David and Sophia has caused this debacle”, Dele Momodu stated.
