Dear Madam,
PETITION
AGAINST MISS ASHLEY COCO ADELEKE & MR ADEDEJI ADELEKE FOR ATTEMPTED CHILD
TRAFFICKING AND ABDUCTION OF MISS AURORA IMADE ADELEKE
We act as
Solicitors for Miss. Sophia Ajibola Momodu, (hereinafter referred to as our
client) whose instructions we have to forward this petition to your esteemed
Agency.
Our client,
a 27 year old, is the biological mother of a baby girl with name, Aurora Imade
Adeleke, who was born on the 14th day of May 2015. The baby’s father is Mr.
David Adedeji Adeleke (aka Davido). The father and mother are unmarried.
On the 11th
July, 2015, our client was tricked to visit the house of Mr. David Adedeji
Adeleke’s half sister – Miss Ashley Coco Adeleke’s with her baby, Imade Aurora
Adeleke. After getting to the house on Baderinwa Alabi Street, Lekki Phase I,
Lagos, our client’s baby was forcefully taken from her and she was thrown out
of the premises with the threat that she would be decisively dealt with if she
ever bothered to return there. There were armed policemen in the premises and
our client’s survival instinct prevailed on her to make her leave her breast
suckling baby behind, with so much pain in her heart.
By daybreak
on the next day, our client was again at Ashley Coco Adeleke’s house to take
her baby, but she was prevented by armed policemen from gaining access into the
house. She was again threatened and warned never to return for the child.
Since July
2015, our client, who has now become so disorientated, saddened and confused
has been going to family members, including her cousin, Mr Dele Momodu, and
other well meaning Nigerians to intervene and allow her get her baby back or at
least allow her to be able to have access to and care for her daughter. This
was frustrated by Coco Adeleke, David Adeleke and their father, Mr. Adedeji
Adeleke. These people boasted to our client and all her family and friends that
our client is a nonentity and of little substance in Nigeria. They also claim
that they have the financial wherewithal and political and security clout to
deal with her and her family anyhow and without any consequence with the aid of
their brother and uncle, Senator Isiaka Adeleke, and other friends Mr Deji
Adeleke purportedly has in government. In a bid to justify their actions, Mr
Deji Adeleke and his daughter, Ashley Coco Adeleke, have been spreading several
malicious and unfounded allegations about our client.
While the
attempts at finding a peaceful and lasting solution were still ongoing, on
Tuesday the 29th December 2015, Ashley Coco Adeleke and her father, Mr Deji
Adeleke, tried to travel to Dubai with our client’s baby. The baby was meant to
be flown out of the country with Nigerian and American passports. Prior to that
date, our client and her cousin, Mr Dele Momodu, had gone to alert the
immigration services at the Murtala Mohammed, Ikeja International airport of
the likelihood of Ashley Coco Adeleke travelling with our client’s baby by
pretending to be the Mother. Our client believes that her baby’s American
passport was hidden and is now likely to be in possession of Mr Deji Adeleke or
Ashley Coco Adeleke. It appears that the assistance of Emirates Airline was
sought as the baby’s American passport was not produced in breach of aviation
regulations. Neither was a letter of authority from the mother to confirm her
consent to the trip produced despite the airline being alerted.
When Mrs.
Modupe Mofikoya, the immigration officer who attended to the Adeleke travelling
party accosted Ashley Coco Adeleke and asked for the mother of the baby, Ashley
Adeleke claimed that she was the mother. Immediately, the immigration officer
on duty collected her Nigerian international passport, she quickly absconded
from the scene with the baby and her father, Mr Deji Adeleke, showed up shortly
afterwards to try to clear his daughter’s mess.
Our client
with the help of her family members, including Mr Dele Momodu, determinedly
resisted the attempt by Miss Ashley Coco Adeleke and her father, Mr Deji
Adeleke, from taking Aurora Imade Adeleke from Lagos yesterday. Our client
believes that the pair are trying to take the child to America and thus put her
out of the reach of the biological mother.
At the
moment, Miss Ashley Coco Adeleke and our client’s daughter, Aurora Imade
Adeleke are still in
Lagos and two of their respective international passports are in the custody of
the airport immigration services. Our client’s fear now, is that Ashley Coco
may use her Nigerian passport and Aurora Imade’s American passport to travel
through other Nigerian or West African airports.
We know that
the actions of Mr Deji Adeleke and Miss Ashley Coco Adeleke contravene many
provisions of the law. One is Section 13 of the Childs Right Law 2007 of Lagos
State (as adapted from the Federal Act), which guarantees Aurora Imade
Adeleke’s right to parental care and protection. That law also forbids
separation of a child from her parents. Another is Section 24 of the same law,
which also prohibits abduction of a child from the lawful custody of her
parents. Neither Mr Deji Adeleke or Ms Ashley Coco Adeleke has any lawful right
to the custody of Aurora Imade Adeleke. Even the unmarried father, Mr David
Adedeji Adeleke, only has limited rights to the child and certainly not to the
exclusion of our client, the natural mother as the Adeleke’s are trying to do.
We are of
the sound view that your Agency is the most viable organisation that can
intervene in the plight of our client and save her from the untold trauma that
she is going through in the hands of Mr Deji Adeleke and Ashley Coco Adeleke,
who has her own child that she keeps with her. We have advised our client about
the statutory powers of your Agency to potently investigate and enforce all the
provisions of the law that deal with abduction and trafficking in persons.
We urge you
to use your good offices to intervene in the case of our client and protect a
baby who should still be under her mother’s care from being abducted and
smuggled abroad.
We thank
you.
Yours
faithfully,
O. AJAYI
& CO./Gbolaga Ajayi Esq.
