The police command in Lagos on Saturday revealed that an autopsy carried out on late Ifeanyi Adeleke showed that the three-year-old drowned.

“Autopsy confirms drowning,” says Lagos police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin.

Mr Hundeyin told Peoples Gazette that the autopsy was concluded on Friday, adding that speculation over Eniola Badmus involvement in the death of Ifeanyi was false.

Mr Hundeyin said “news about Eniola Badmus is false” and that two domestic staff of Mr Adeleke are still in custody to aid the ongoing police investigation. 

The Gazette had earlier reported that Ifeanyi, son of popular Nigerian musician Davido and Chioma Rowland, drowned in a pool at their Lagos residence.
