In a new report that surfaced this morning, eight domestic staff of Davido have been arrested. Ifeanyi Adeleke reportedly drowned in a pool at his father's home yesterday.

“The boy was inside water for too long and they pulled him out and rushed him to the hospital,” <a href="https://www.pulse.com.gh/entertainment/celebrities/williams-uchember-confirms-death-of-davidos-son-as-fellow-celebrities-mourn-with-the/kjr66sc">a family source claimed</a>. The source who spoke under anonymity to await an official statement added that “by the time they rushed him to Lagoon Hospital it was already too late".

Following the report, the police arrested 8 workers at Davido's home, including Ifeanyi's Nanny. Lagos Police spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed that the drowning happened at Davido’s residence.

According to him an investigation into the matter has commenced.&nbsp;“Yes, we have invited eight people over the death of his son,” Mr Hundeyin said.

The singer and the mother of his son, Chioma Rowland, recently marked their son’s third birthday on October 20. Whilst the family is yet to issue a statement about the incident, the sad news has since thrown social media into mourning.

Ghanaian and Nigerian celebrities, including Stonebwoy, Vanessa Gyan, Sista Afia, Iyabo Ojo, Ayo Makun, Toyin Abraham, Daddy Freeze, Eniola Badmus and others, have been sympathizing with the couple.
