Leave My Daughter Alone – Sophia Momodu Warns Against Harassing Daughter Imade Online
Davido’s baby mama, Sophia Momodu, has hit back at social media critics who have been targeting her 10-year-old daughter, Imade. The backlash followed questions about why Imade did not join her father during his recent birthday celebrations. One critic asked, “Sophia, why don’t you allow your daughter to celebrate with her dad?” Sophia responded firmly, rejecting the ongoing narratives about her parenting: “You people have been spreading this false narrative for over 10 years. While I try to be graceful, I am also a fiercely protective mother. Say whatever you want about me, but leave my child alone! Imade is not a bargaining chip to make me conform.” She also addressed a video circulating online that suggested Imade “always looks sad” and is suffering emotional pain because of her mother. Sophia emphasized that her daughter is still very young: “My child is an innocent 10-year-old, a pre-teen. She hasn’t even started figuring things out yet. She’s literally still a baby.” Sophia warned that any future negative mentions of her daughter would be met with legal action: “Moving forward, anyone — bloggers or otherwise — who brings my daughter’s name up in a negative light will hear from her lawyers. I have completely removed myself from the equation. My daughter will thrive in peace. I will forever stand up for my child, even if nobody else does.” She also expressed frustration with continued online attacks, saying: “I honestly cannot wait to use one of you as a scapegoat. Let’s finish 2025 in grand style since some people don’t have sense and keep attacking an innocent 10-year-old. Imade is not a tool to manipulate me. Move on!” Sophia’s statements highlight her determination to shield Imade from public scrutiny and false narratives, making it clear that her daughter’s wellbeing is her top priority.
Two Suspects Arrested After Violent Attack On Fuji Star Obesere In Okitipupa
The Ondo State Police Command has confirmed that two people are now in custody following the violent attack on Fuji icon Abass Akande Obesere during a burial ceremony in Okitipupa. The musician had earlier urged the state government to ensure those responsible were tracked down and prosecuted after his team was assaulted and his equipment vandalized. Trouble reportedly started when groups of thugs stormed the venue, confronting Obesere and attempting to extort money from him. The confrontation quickly escalated, leading to a fight between the attackers and his band members. In the chaos, the cash Obesere received from well-wishers was allegedly snatched, and several members of his team sustained injuries. Police spokesperson Olayinka Ayanlade confirmed the development, noting that the arrested suspects were found with exhibits linked to the attack. He added that investigators had already begun piecing together the events. Okitipupa Local Government chairman Andrew Ogunsakin condemned the assault, describing it as disgraceful and a poor reflection on the community. He pledged to reach out personally to Obesere and assured that measures would be put in place to prevent such incidents from happening again. Ayonla Authentic, Obesere’s media manager, provided a detailed account of the ordeal. He said that shortly after the performance, while preparations were underway to leave, large groups of touts surrounded them. Because he was holding the bag containing the event’s proceeds, he became a primary target. According to him, the attackers demanded the money and beat him when he refused, leaving him with a dislocated shoulder and multiple injuries. He explained that Obesere was also manhandled despite trying to appease the thugs. The attackers eventually fled with the money, leaving the team to retreat for safety and medical attention. The statement from Obesere’s camp condemned the attack as criminal and unacceptable, calling on authorities to fully prosecute those responsible and strengthen security at public gatherings.
