Police in Nigeria have questioned eight domestic workers following the death of the three-year-old son of Afrobeats star Davido.
Ifeanyi Adeleke, who turned three last month, drowned in a swimming pool on Monday at his parents’ home in the main city of Lagos.
A police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin told the BBC that a domestic staff called the police at 22:00 local time on Monday about the incident.
Hundeyin was quoted as saying “We are reviewing the CCTV cameras to get additional information about the circumstances of his death.”
“His body has been deposited in the morgue. We are in touch with his parents. In fact they were with us last night,” he added.
Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland have not yet commented on their son’s death.
News of the tragic drowning though has been trending on social media around the world with fans expressing their condolences to the couple.
My thoughts and prayers are with Davido and Chioma and the Adeleke family at this time. I pray for God to strengthen and comfort them. -AA
