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.
