Lagos State Police Command has begun questioning eight domestic workers at Davido’s Banana Island residence over the death of his son, Ifeanyi Adeleke.
The three-year-old boy was pronounced dead on arrival at Evercare Hospital in Lekki after allegedly drowning in the family’s swimming pool on Monday night.
His parents, Davido and Chioma, were on a trip to Ibadan for a family function at the time of the incident.
Although the circumstances surrounding Ifeanyi’s presence at the pool section at that time of the day were yet unknown, Nigerians have wondered why his minders never felt his absence as he was said to have been in the pool for a long time before drowning.

He said all eight domestic workers in the employ of Davido were currently in police custody and being interrogated.
Hundeyin said: “Domestic staff at Davido’s home have been taken to the station to give their own account of what happened. I wouldn’t call that arrest yet.
“If after they all give their own account of what happened and after preliminary investigations, any one of them is found culpable, the person will now be placed under arrest.
“Yes, the nanny is also with them. We are interviewing them separately to understand what happened. It is indeed a painful situation and we condole with the family.”
