The autopsy conducted on the corpse of Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of superstar, Davido confirmed that the three-year-old died as a result of drowning.

This was disclosed by the Lagos State Police Command on Saturday.

The police also said two suspects arrested in connection to the incident are still being quizzed.

“The two suspects are still with us. Autopsy has been concluded. The autopsy confirmed that he (Ifeanyi) died by drowning,” Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin told Channels Television on Saturday.

On whether the two principal suspects will be charged to court, the police spokesman said, “I don’t want to preempt that. Investigation is still ongoing.”

Davido and the lad’s mother, Chioma Rowland, were said to be out of the state and left the lad in the care of his minders at their Banana Island residence in Lagos when the sad occurrence happened.

The police had arrested eight of Davido’s domestic workers but later released six of them.

Many respected artistes and Very Important Persons (VIPs) including Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and his wife had commiserated with the Adeleke family over the traumatic experience just as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Osun State suspended political activities over the sad occurrence.

Davido played a major role in the victory of his uncle, Ademola Adeleke of the PDP in the just concluded Osun Guber election.
