N1 million a month isn't enough to cater for Imade's needs - Sophia Momodu tells Davido's dad in leaked chats

A child, as delicate as fine china, is often swept into the raging tempest of parental discord, navigating turbulent waters of custody battles and financial negotiations.

Regrettably, young Imade now finds herself at the heart of this blazing controversy, with leaked chats revealing her mother's dismissal of 1 million naira as insufficient. This revelation has sparked a whirlwind of intrigue, leaving many in its wake questioning the true cost of family ties.

In a bombshell revelation reported by WITHIN NIGERIA, Sophia leveled explosive accusations against the Afrobeats icon’s sisters, accusing them of orchestrating a brazen abduction plot targeting their infant daughter, Imade, when she was just three months old.

Sophia detailed a chilling account where Davido’s sisters purportedly conspired to whisk Imade away permanently, masquerading the scheme as an innocuous holiday plan.

The alleged scheme, according to Sophia, was on the verge of execution when immigration authorities intervened, thwarting the abduction attempt just in the nick of time.
