The child custody proceedings between Queen Mercy Oyekanmi and Promise Anagbogu, also known as Lord Lamba, have been adjourned to July 18 for hearing by the Magistrate Court in Ogba, Lagos State.
This decision was made after the skitmaker failed to appear in court on Thursday, May 23. Interestingly, his lawyer was also absent and instead sent a representative who expressed ignorance regarding the skitmaker’s absence.
According to a source:
“Today was the court hearing and Queen was there but her baby daddy didn’t show up. His lawyer didn’t come; instead, he sent his assistant to represent him. Because he didn’t appear in court, his lawyer requested a new date, so it was adjourned to 18th of July for hearing.”
It was earlier alleged that Lord Lamba filed a child custody petition without giving Queen Mercy Atang’s notice.
Allegedly, the matter had been presided upon twice, without Queen Mercy Atang’s knowledge. Upon investigation by her Lawyers, Queen Mercy Atang was made aware of the court date, and Lord Lamba didn’t show up.
The drama between Lord Lamba and Queen Mercy Atang first unfolded, when she made the news of her engagement public.
Shortly after Queen Mercy Atang’s engagement announcement, Lord Lamba posted pictures of himself and their daughter on Instagram, for the first time ever since she was born in 2022.
Lord Lamba’s post raised a lot of brows, with netizens calling him out for being jealous over Queen Mercy Atang’s engagement.
After he made the post featuring his daughter, Queen Mercy Atang posted a skit featuring herself and Nasty Blaq. The storyline of the skit looked similar to her current situation, and this left netizen baffled.
The drama with Lord Lamba didn’t stop Queen Mercy Atang from marrying her U.K based husband. It was a huge hit in the media, and it had a lot of coverage on social media.
During her wedding, a lot of BBNaija alums showed up and supported her. It was a glamorous all-white event that featured a lot of reality television stars.
The huge show out during her wedding proved just how much influence Queen Mercy Atang held in her hands.
Despite the fact that she’s influential, the drama with Lord Lamba is one of her first and only public spats. Queen Mercy Atang has maintained a low profile that has kept her out of trouble.
