According to reports, Davido is heartbroken and distraught by the passing of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
The son of the Nigerian artist fell away yesterday after allegedly drowning in a swimming pool at home.
“The boy was inside water for too long and they pulled him out and rushed him to the hospital,” a family source told gazettengr.com.
“By the time they rushed him to Lagoon Hospital it was already too late,” the source said under anonymity to await an official statement
According to a lindaikejisblog.com report on the incident,
“the Nanny was with Ifeanyi and the Chef came to join them. The Nanny was said to have moved slightly away to receive a call. When she returned, she couldn’t find Ifeanyi and asumed he was with the Chef but the Chef said he had left Ifeanyi with her“.
The source close to the heartbreaking incident who spoke to the website added that “they began to frantically look for Ifeanyi all over the house for close to 20 mins until a security guard spotted him in the pool. No one could explain how the boy got in the pool“
Davido and Chioma left their son behind when they traveled for another State. The sad news allegedly greeted the lovers when they arrived home from their trip and completely devastated them.
“Davido ran mad. He literally removed his clothes and wanted to run into the streets. He was held back. He and Chioma are inconsolable.” the source told LIB.
The report adds that “all friends, staff and colleagues have been banned from visiting Davido’s father’s house where he and Chioma are held“.
So far, the Nigeria police arrested 8 workers at Davido’s home, including Ifeanyi’s Nanny. Lagos Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that the drowning happened at Davido’s residence.
According to him an investigation into the matter has commenced. “Yes, we have invited eight people over the death of his son,” Hundeyin said.
The singer and the mother of his son, Chioma Rowland, recently marked their son’s third birthday on October 20. Whilst the family is yet to issue a statement about the incident, the sad news has since thrown social media into mourning.
