The Lagos State Police Command says no fewer than eight domestic workers of famous singer, David Adeleke, fondly called Davido, have been brought in for questioning over the death of his three-year-old son, Ifeanyi.

It was gathered that the workers of the singer were arrested by the police on Tuesday.

It would be recalled that Ifeanyi, who turned three on October 20, reportedly drowned in a swimming pool at his residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State on Monday.

The little boy was said to have been rushed to a hospital in the Lekki area of the state where he was confirmed dead.

The DMW boss and the mother of the boy, Chioma Rowland, were said to have traveled for a family gathering in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on Monday and left Ifeanyi with his minders.

Speaking on the incident on Tuesday, the Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, said eight domestic workers of Davido were brought in by the police operatives for questioning.

“They were brought in questioning, not arrest. Anybody found not culpable will be released immediately while those found culpable will remain with us to further our investigation,” the police spokesperson said.
