Multiple sources said the accident occurred on Monday, October 31. Ifeanyi died by drowning at his dad’s Banana Island home. He was rushed to Evercare Hospital in Lekki where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, other sources say the boy is alive but unconscious in intensive care in hospital citing private WhatsApp messages sent by Davido.
It was gathered that quite a number of people at Davido’s house when the incident happened have been arrested.
A distraught and inconsolable Davido was removed from Evercare Hospital and taken to his father’s house where he remains at press time.
Meanwhile, emotions have been high over the death of Ifeanyi Adeleke. Since the news of Ifeanyi’s rumored death became public knowledge, Nigerians, particularly entertainment lovers, had been outraged and traumatised by the development.
A number of celebrities have posted cryptic messages that appear to confirm the death of Ifeanyi. Some of these are comedians Ayo Makun and Lasisi Elenu, and radio personality Daddy Freeze among others.
Makun, in an Instagram post early Tuesday, wrote, “The death of a child is unnatural, unfair, and tragic, this hit me so bad.”
Daddy Freeze, who went live on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning said, “When the person you love is someone involved it becomes a heavy emotional burden. I am not confirming anything but bear with me I will not be live tonight.”
The rumored death, however, emanated from a now-deleted post from actress, Eniola Badmus, late Monday.
