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
Adelekes 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
