Davido son’s death: Police arrest domestic workers for questioning

The Lagos police command has confirmed the death of three-year-old Ifeanyi, son of music star, Davido.

An online news portal, TheCable, quoted the police command’s spokesman, Benjamin Hundeyin, as saying some domestic workers in Davido’s home had been arrested are currently being questioned over the death.

He said the workers were being investigated for alleged negligence to ascertain those culpable in the case.

“There’s not much to say. Some domestic staff were brought in for questioning to find out what they know about it. Anybody found culpable or guilty of negligence will stay back and assist in the ongoing investigation,” he said.

Ifeanyi reportedly got drowned in the swimming pool in the Banana Island residence of the artiste Monday evening. He was said to be under water for a very long time before being spotted.

He was said to have been rushed to Evercare Hospital in Lekki where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

The couple on Sunday reportedly travelled to Ibadan for a family function and had left Ifeanyi with his minders who could not explain how he entered the pool without being noticed.

Another report said Davido had left for the US and his fiancé, Ifeanyi’s mother, Chioma, travelled to Ibadan, leaving the boyi with a domestic assistant.

Davido proposed to Chioma in September 2019 after the couple put together a low-key introduction ceremony.

They thereafter announced plans to tie the knot but later postponed the wedding.

Their relationship temporarily hit the rocks in March 2021 amid rumours that Davido had an affair with a model.

Davido and Chioma appeared to have reunited in October 2022, hinting that their wedding had been set for 2023.
