Omg, this is horrible!

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.

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.
