By Mayowa Oladeji On Nov 1, 2022

Eight domestic employees were hauled in for interrogation in relation to the passing of Davido’s kid, Ifeanyi Adeleke, the Lagos State Police Command reported on Tuesday.

Benjamin Hundeyin, the state police public relations officer, who confirmed the news on Tuesday, November 1, said the domestic workers’ accounts will help the command determine what exactly happened to cause the three-year-old boy’s death.

Hundeyin added that those found negligently culpable would be held back to aid the command in the ongoing investigation. He added that anyone not found guilty over the death of Ifeanyi would be released right away.

Hundeyin said;

“His (Ifeanyi’s) death is confirmed. His (Davido’s) domestic workers have been brought in for questioning and anybody found not culpable will be allowed to go immediately.

“About eight of them were brought in to narrate their version of what happened to assist us in getting what really happened.

“At the end of their narrations, whoever that is found not guilty of negligence or not culpable in anyway will be allowed to go.

“Anybody found culpable will stay back to assist us in further investigation. The domestic workers are about eight that were brought in.”

According to reports, Ifeanyi died in the swimming pool at his father’s home in the Banana Island neighborhood of Lagos State.

After being taken from the pool, the three-year-old boy was reportedly transferred to a hospital in the Lekki district of the state, where one of the attending physicians verified his death.

The victim’s family still hadn’t responded to the unfortunate turn of events.

However, Nigerians—especially fans of entertainment—have been incensed and traumatized by the development ever since the news of Ifeanyi’s alleged death became public knowledge.

A number of famous people have sent cryptic remarks that seem to corroborate Ifeanyi’s passing
