By Ahmed Boulor

Ovation publisher, Dele Momodu has replied veteran filmmaker, Ola Balogun over his comments concerning the Babymama drama saga and child trafficking allegations leveled against the Adeleke’s by the Momodu’s.

The vocal entrepreneur in his reply noted that Dr. Balogun maliciously attacked Sophia and him (Dele) without caring to find out what led to the present debacle.

In his initial statement, Dr. Balogun was in apparent support of Davido over the babymama drama between him and the mother of his child, Sophie Momodu.

And in issuing his clarification on his earlier comments which was followed by a backlash on social media and other quarters, Dr. Balogun stated that his conclusions over the issue are based on the fact that Davido’s version of events is coherent and compelling, whereas Momodu’s version makes no sense.

In his reply, Dele Momodu said it is regrettable that Dr. Balogun would retaliate through this vengeful manner because he (Dele) has not been able to attend to his certain demands.

Read his comments below…

“It is disheartening that while many well-meaning Nigerians have stepped in to intervene in the face-off between music superstar ,Mr David Adeleke, aka Davido, and the mother of his baby, Ms Sophia Momodu, my cousin, a senior citizen and film-maker, Dr Ola Balogun, has chosen to cast aspersions on me for reasons best known to both of us.

In a well-circulated comment he made in newspapers and on social media, Wednesday January 6, 2016, Dr Balogun maliciously attacked Sophia and I without caring to find out what led to the present debacle.

“I had the highest regards for Dr Balogun and had always responded to his calls and text messages to my London line most times. I wish to apologise to him publicly if I have not been able to attend to his certain demands but it is regrettable that he would retaliate through this vengeful manner.

Though I bear the same title of Bashorun with my late mentor Chief Moshood Abiola, I’m just an ordinary journalist of very modest means. Let me assure Dr Balogun that elders like him have brokered peace between the families and by the grace of God we should have good news sooner than later.

“Dr Balogun should please bury whatever animosity he has against me and join others in reconciling the families instead of pouring petrol into the conflagration…”
