Following recent courtroom tensions involving Davido during proceedings concerning Imade Adeleke, attention has largely focused on one heated exchange.
However, insiders familiar with the matter suggest there is more to the story.
Sources close to both parties reveal that while emotions ran high in court, significant behind-the-scenes efforts have been made to ensure that co-parenting remains structured and stable — efforts largely driven by Bimpe Ajegbomogun , a key member of the mother’s legal team who is also a big sister to Sophia Momodu.
Legal observers note that Barrister Ajegbomogun has consistently adopted a mediation-first approach, prioritizing the child’s welfare above public theatrics. According to sources, she played a central role in facilitating structured access that led to the reunion of father and daughter after a prolonged period of distance.
Those familiar with the dynamics describe her as “the quiet stabilizer in the room,” often diffusing tension and guiding conversations back to what truly matters — the child.
Interestingly, despite public criticism directed at one member of the legal team, analysts point out that Barrister Ajegbomogun was equally present in court. If there were truly an agenda against the mother’s representation, observers suggest it would logically extend to her as well.
Instead, what insiders see is something different: recognition of her balanced posture and solution-driven engagement.
Barrister Ajegbomogun’s experience handling sensitive public matters — including her involvement in proceedings connected to Cubana Chief Priest and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission — reflects a legal career built on discretion and composure under pressure.
As the custody case continues, those close to the situation maintain that the ultimate goal remains clear: stability, structured access, and emotional security for the child.
In high-profile disputes, headlines may focus on confrontation. But lasting resolutions are often built quietly.
And sometimes, the most important work happens off camera as Davido openly asked Sophia Momodu legal team in court ‘What if tomorrow Sophie and I settle?
A further suggestion that Davido is ready to ensure Imade is happy and stable.
