After the passing of his newborn son Ifeanyi, RAPPER Davido has endured a great deal of grief.
The three-year-old kid of the Atlanta-born singer was discovered dead in his Lagos, Nigeria residence.
What happened to Ifeanyi, Davido’s son?
Local media outlets indicate that on November 1, 2022, young Ifeanyi sadly drowned in a swimming pool at his apartment on Banana Island.
Davido and Chioma Rowland were apparently out at the time, but a number of staff people were present at the residence.
Ifeanyi, who was born in 2019, was reportedly submerged underwater prior to being discovered by cleaning personnel.
The Lagos State Police Command stated that eight employees have been detained for interrogation in relation to the death of the teen. A spokesperson for the police informed the Daily Post: “Domestic staff from Davido’s residence have been transported to the police station to provide their own accounts of the incident.
“If, following their individual accounts of what transpired and preliminary investigations, any of them are determined to be responsible, they will now be arrested.”
Ifeanyi passed away on October 20, three days after his third birthday.
In a touching message accompanied by two photographs of Ifeanyi, Davido wrote: “I fervently want God to bring you perfect health and unadulterated joy for as long as humanly possible. You will surpass me in greatness. Happy birthday, son.
According to a source close to the family, the three-year-old was submerged for an extended amount of time.
They stated, “The youngster was submerged for too long, and he was rescued and transported to the hospital.”
It was too late by the time they rushed him to Lagoon Hospital.
Several celebs sent their condolences hours after the news surfaced.
Tuesday morning, in an Instagram post, the Nigerian actor Ayo Makun wrote, “The death of a kid is unnatural, unfair, and heartbreaking; this affected me so deeply.”
Lasisi Elenu, a comedian, also wrote: “Father, heal your children’s hearts from this pain, oh Lord, strengthen them at such a dark and painful period.”
The family has not yet commented on Ifeanyi’s passing.
