Sophia Momodu’s Lawyers Vow Legal Action Over Alleged Intimidation In Davido Custody Dispute

The legal team representing Sophia Momodu has declared that it will deploy every lawful avenue to counter what it described as attempts to intimidate counsel or disrupt ongoing court proceedings, amid fresh controversy linked to Afrobeats star Davido.

In a statement issued by the management and board of partners at PUNUKA Attorneys and Solicitors, the firm stressed that the custody matter is currently before a competent court in Lagos State and must be resolved strictly through evidence and due judicial process. It maintained that public commentary or online pressure would not sway its professional responsibilities.

The reaction followed reports that Davido posted a photograph of one of the lawyers on social media while speaking about developments in his custody dispute with Momodu, triggering intense online reactions. The firm warned that such actions could place legal practitioners at risk of harassment beyond the courtroom.

The lawyers underscored that justice thrives on fearless and independent advocacy, cautioning that any effort to undermine the integrity of legal proceedings would attract consequences within the bounds of the law. They further urged the wider legal community, including the Nigerian Bar Association, to condemn conduct capable of eroding professional standards.

The latest exchange adds to the long-running custody battle between both parties, a dispute that observers say has increasingly shifted into the public space as both legal and personal tensions continue to escalate.
