Ifeanyi Adeleke, the 3-year-old son of Nigerian Afrobeats superstar Davido, died after drowning in a swimming pool, BBC reported. The news of the minor’s death was confirmed by authorities in the West African nation. 

The fatal incident is said to have occurred at the award-winning singer’s Banana Island residence in Lagos. Benjamin Hundeyin, who is the spokesperson for the Lagos state police command, told BBC Pidgin that they have since taken in eight domestic workers for questioning over the fatal incident.
