Nigerian music star Davido and influencer Chioma’s three-year-old son Ifeanyi’s tragic death has made headlines worldwide.
The little one is said to have drowned in the swimming pool at his father’s house in Lagos. Davido, real name David Adedeji, and his fianceè were reportedly not at home at the time.
Nigerian Police are investigating the toddler’s death and have taken in eight domestic workers for questioning in relation to the incident.
According to police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin, police were called by the couple’s domestic staff at 10pm local time.
“We are reviewing the CCTV cameras to get additional information about the circumstances of his death,” Mr Hundeyin said. “His body has been deposited in the morgue. We are in touch with his parents. In fact, they were with us last night.”
Last month, during a trip to London, the couple officially announced that they were planning to tie the knot in 2023.
Fellow celebs and fans alike have taken to social media to offer condolences to Davido and his family.
