The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons and other related matters on Wednesday quizzed embattled artiste, David Adeleke, aka Davido, over the allegation of child abduction levelled against him by his erstwhile lover, Sophia Momodu.
According to Punch, Davido was at the office of the agency on Oba Aladejobi Street, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, to state his own side of the story.
Recall that Sophia had petitioned NAPTIP alleging that Davido had abducted her daughter, Imade.
The Adeleke family had been intercepted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on December 29, 2015, where immigration officers seized the baby’s passport, and prevented them from travelling out of the country.
Davido had denied the allegation of abduction, saying he was only taking the seven-month-old to the American Hospital, Dubai, for treatment after she was infected with cannabis which she reportedly sucked from her mother’s breast.
He later released a test result purportedly issued by a Lagos clinic indicating that Sophia was infected with cannabis.
NAPTIP summoned Davido over the incident and he reported to the office on Wednesday.
Davido’s manager, Kamal Ajiboye, while confirming the development, said his boss was at the NAPTIP’s office to state his side of the story.
He said,
“They just asked him to state his side of the story. I know he was there today to sign his statement through his lawyer. I cannot say to what extent the matter is going or if it is going to court.”
The Zonal Coordinator, NAPTIP, Lagos State, Mr. Joseph Famakin, who refused to be specific on Davido’s visit, said all the parties involved in the case had honoured the agency’s invitation.
He said, “All the parties were invited and they have been honouring our invitations. We are investigating the case.”
