Baba Ijesha: Yomi Fabiyi challenges Iyabo Ojo, Princess to demand Damilola Adekola’s trial

Nollywood actor and human rights activist, Yomi Fabiyi, has challenged his colleagues, Iyabo Ojo and Princess, to demand the trial of Damilola Adekola and Princess’ house security, “Okele”, accused of having sex with a minor.

“The girl’s age is hearsay, and Princess was seen beating her in a video. Why is Princess not demanding justice for the girl if she was truly a victim?” Fabiyi questioned.

Fabiyi emphasized that the court found Baba Ijesha innocent due to lack of evidence and that the girl’s age was not proven. He also alleged that vital evidence was hidden from the court and that the truth was covered up.

“I detest injustice!” Fabiyi said. “Baba Ijesha has the right to sexual feelings, and flirting is a social culture that only becomes a crime if done with a minor or child. Why was Princess beating the same girl in the video after rushing in, if truly she was a victim?”

Fabiyi challenged his colleagues to use the same energy to demand the trial of Damilola Adekola and Princess’ house security, “Okele”, saying, “Why was the police denied access to the CCTV hard disc, and why is Damilola Adekola allowed to walk free? I won’t be surprised to see Damilola Adekola part of the men setting up the CCTV camera. How is Princess a genuine complainant?”

This development comes after the court’s ruling sparked controversy and debate among Nigerians, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the matter. Fabiyi, who is also the convener of the Break The Silence Foundation, a registered human rights NGO, emphasized that moral offenses differ from criminal offenses.

In a statement, Fabiyi said, “Wickedness has no place in our constitution. The court of appeal found Baba Ijesha innocent, and yet, some individuals are still accusing him. I challenge you, Iyabo Ojo and Princess, to use the same energy to demand the trial of Damilola Adekola and Princess’ house security, ‘Okele’.”

Sophia mocking me over Ifeanyi’s death – Davido

Nigerian Afrobeat singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has accused his baby mama, Sophia Momodu, of constantly taunting him with the death of his first son, Ifeanyi.

Davido had dragged Momodu to the Lagos State High Court over the custody of their daughter, Imade.

The suit marked LD/1587PMC/2024 and dated April 17, 2024, has Mr David Adedeji Adeleke as the applicant, while Ms Sophia Momodu was listed as the sole respondent.

Via the suit, the entertainer urged the court to give an order granting joint custody of Imade.

Dele Momodu speaks on Davido, Sophia child custody rift

Dele Momodu, uncle to Sophia Momodu, has shared his opinion on the custody battle between Sophia and Davido.

He claimed that Davido’s affidavit seeking joint custody surprised him, as their previous conversations focused on Davido’s wedding and reconnecting with his daughter.

Dele Momodu stated  the issues were mainly about financial support, including school fees, accommodation and a nanny’s salary.

He believed the lack of communication and camaraderie between Davido and Sophia has led to this situation.

Dele wrote on X: “My candid opinion on David Adeleke vs Sophia Momodu

“Last night, I received a distressing message from Mr David Adeleke (aka Davido). He was obviously devastated by the counter-affidavit submitted in court, earlier in the day, in response to his affidavit seeking a joint custody of his daughter with my niece Sophia Momodu.

“I had seen David’s affidavit about two weeks ago and I was very surprised as David and I had spoken on a video call days earlier, with him and Pastor Tobi Adegboyega, and he never told me he had any custody issues with  my niece. So you can imagine my confusion to find out via social media and subsequently confirmed by my niece that he had filed an action in court seeking joint custody of their daughter.

“During the referenced video call, we were all very excited about his forthcoming wedding ceremony, an event our family congratulated him about. Prior to this, David had told me he eventually spoke to their daughter, after a long lull of about two years.

“He was very happy and excited. So I thought everything was settled and he and Sophia would now have the opportunity of taking maximum care of their daughter. I had offered special thanks to David’s Dad, Dr Adedeji Adeleke, for his kindness and support for our daughter during the period of David’s absence.

“I had also taken Sophia and their daughter to my very dear friend, Governor Ademola Adeleke, seeking his intervention. To the best of my knowledge, there was never a problem of joint custody.

“The issues were: non-payment of school fees for several sessions; non-payment of accommodation and salaries of a nanny. There was no car dedicated to David’s daughter. And so on. Mercifully, I mentioned all to Dr Adedeji Adeleke and he responded positively, like a true grandfather.

“On the issue of non-payment of school fees, David’s Dad cleared everything and also set up payments of future bills. He gave his grand daughter a car to take her to school. The remaining issue was on accommodation.

“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. I have cautioned repeatedly that their daughter must not be allowed to suffer or be treated like a second class child. David’s global status makes this imperative.

“Sophia allowed David access to their daughter provided she has her nanny around 24/7. The 9-year old herself made this request and I believe this should be favorably considered and accepted. My grand niece had been released to go out with her cousins on several occasions.

“The Governor’s daughter, Nike, was at Sophia’s house with the Governor’s grandson last Christmas Day, despite the fact that there wasn’t ample notice & she still granted access.

“Two months ago, the Governor’s son, Sina Rambo, requested a play date between the kids & Sophia rented out a children’s place in Victoria Island for them to spend hours together. The only time  she couldn’t join her father’s family was when her grandfather requested to go on vacation with her for three weeks last year, as the notice was too short, and Sophia had already paid for their own trips, due to lack of communication between the parents…”
