Adenuga’s son Eniola, ex-girlfriend fight over daughter’s custody

On why he wants custody of the child, Adenuga said:

 “The respondent is unwilling to create time needed to care for my daughter physically, emotionally and mentally and I reasonably believe that my daughter currently lacks motherly attention.”

But Ogun, in her counter-claim, said she never denied Adenuga access to his child. She said from last May to October, she took her daughter to the applicant’s mother’s residence in Victoria Island every weekend.

She said she also took the daughter to the applicant’s father’s house on Banana Island at least thrice a week and sometimes slept over.

According to Ogun, problem arose when Adenuga’s mother demanded that she and the daughter spend two weeks monthly at her residence. Ogun said her family refused because she was not married to Adenuga.

According to her, she was trying to resolve the issue amicably when Adenuga, on October 13 last year, came to her home in company of a policeman demanding that his daughter be produced, and in the process assaulted her mother and damaged her phone when she tried to record the scene.‎

She denied keeping her daughter in the care of a security man, saying:

 “During my working hours and prior to when my daughter started attending crèche, she is left in the care of my grandmother and my nanny.”

Ogun also denied that her daughter is being brought up in an unhygienic and unsafe environment.

She claimed she pays her daughter’s medical bills at Reddington Hospital, adding that Adenuga was not solely responsible for her daughter’s welfare.

Ogun said a doctor certified her daughter to be fit and healthy and that despite being born with a low birth weight of 2.7kg, her current growth pattern was more than satisfactory.‎

Besides, she said the only time her daughter was ill, she was diagnosed with an infection common to children when they start crawling and teething and was promptly treated.

“I have never denied the applicant access to my daughter, rather, he wants custody. I don’t believe it is in my daughter’s interest that the applicant be granted custody of my daughter,” she said.

According to her, Adenuga “is not suited to cope with the demands of having full custody of a 16-month old female child.”
She added that “he does not have a definite schedule” and “comes home by 12.
