Death has laid its icy hands on Afro Beat singer, Davido and his girlfriend, Chioma Rowland’s son Ifeanyi Adeleke.
The celebrity child who died at three years old on Monday, October 31, 2022, marked his birthday just 11 days ago.
Information regarding his demise presently remains scanty. However, we gather the child reportedly drowned at the ‘Assurance’ crooner’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State.
According to Nigerian celebrity blogger Linda Ikeji, the couple had traveled for a family gathering in Ibadan on Sunday and had left Ifeanyi with his minders who can’t explain how he entered the pool without being noticed and drowned.
He was rushed to Evercare Hospital in Lekki where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
The Police have arrested persons present at Davido’s house when the incident happened, we have gathered.
