It was a dreadful and devastating Tuesday for Davido and his family, as well as fans and music lovers all over the world, after hearing the death of Ifeanyi
A few hours after Ifeanyi’s death, police arrested Davido’s domestic staff, including the nanny and cook, for questioning and interrogation in connection with the child’s death.
However, there are indications that the police might conduct an autopsy to determine whether Ifeanyi Adeleke drowned in a swimming pool at his father’s home in Lagos State’s Banana Island area.
An impeccable source confirmed the situation, saying it was common procedure for the police to conduct an autopsy in such a scenario, but that the police would back down if the deceased family members objected.
“Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death,’ the source said.
The source went further and say that, of the eight domestic workers interrogated by police in connection with Ifeanyi’s death, the cook and nanny, whose job it was to care after the three-year-old boy, had been detained for reasons including failing to uphold the minor’s duty of care.
“It was the work of the nanny to take care of the child (Ifeanyi); the nanny was negligent or how could the boy have left the house without her knowledge?
“The boy left the house, walked to the back where the swimming pool is situated and fell into the swimming pool. Nobody noticed until much later. At that point in time, he had drowned and was at the bottom of the swimming pool —The source concluded
Davido and Chioma are yet to speak out about the death of their son’ Ifeanyi, but they are now mourning his death and being kept at his father’s house in Lekki.
