March 01, (THEWILL) – Skit maker, Promise Kelvin Anagbogu, aka Lord Lamba, has filed a lawsuit seeking child custody, escalating tensions between him and his baby mama, Mercy Atang, a former housemate of the Big Brother Naija reality show.
Atang had taken to her Instagram page on Thursday, to share the news of her engagement. Shortly after revealing photos of her engagement, Lord Lamba posted pictures of himself alongside their one-year-old daughter.
Following the initial announcement, images of the legal petition emerged online.
Dated February 16, the petition, addressed to the Family Court of Lagos State in Ikeja, criticised Mercy for leaving their daughter, Princess Khellah Kelvin Anagbogu, in the care of other people while she travelled to the UK to get engaged on January 29, 2024.
The document also stated that, despite Lord Lamba’s consistent financial support for Mercy and their daughter’s well-being, he was denied access to the child.
Lord Lamba claimed in the petition that Queen had blocked all his phone numbers and could only reach her using a new number, which was later blocked.
Lord Lamba said it was in the best interest of the child to be under his custody in order for her to have a decent upbringing and for her to be well catered to.
