The law firm representing Sophia Momodu has broken its silence following public attacks from Afrobeats star Davido, issuing a firm statement defending its legal team and the judicial process.
In a press statement shared on Instagram, the firm addressed what it described as inflammatory remarks directed at Ebelechukwu Enedah, the lawyer handling Sophia’s custody case.
The firm stressed that the matter remains sub judice and will be decided strictly by the court.
“No amount of media commentary will sway that process.”
They warned that threats, intimidation, or harassment against legal practitioners outside the courtroom could undermine the justice system itself.
“If our legal practitioners are threatened, intimidated, or subjected to harassment outside the courtroom, the foundation of justice is imperilled.”
The statement follows a tense period in the ongoing custody battle involving the couple’s daughter. Reports previously claimed the singer lost his temper in court, an allegation raised publicly by Maruf Muhammed.
Davido later clarified he was seeking joint custody, not full custody, and announced he had decided to drop the case, saying his daughter would grow up knowing he fought for her.
Public reactions have been intense. Entrepreneur Doris Nkumah (popularly known as Wanneka) praised the singer for fighting for his child, while logistics manager Israel DMW also weighed in with commentary directed at the situation.
Meanwhile, businessman Isaac Fayose publicly criticised Sophia, urging the Adeleke family to step back from the dispute.
In 2024, Davido filed legal action seeking joint custody of his daughter, alleging restricted access and financial pressure, claims Sophia denied. She later opposed the request, citing personal and family concerns.
With tensions now spilling into public discourse, Sophia’s legal team insists the matter must remain where it belongs, before the court, not the media.
