Nigerian singer Davido's son drowns in swimming pool

Nigerian singer David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has lost his only son with fiancée Chioma Rowland.

Davido’s son, David Adeleke Ifeanyi Jr, reportedly drowned in a swimming pool on Monday, October 31 at their home in Banana Island, Lagos.

The sad news was revealed by Davido’s foster brother, Emeka Senator who took to his social media to post; “The revelation was taken for granted. God, we are so sorry.”

The death of David Ifeanyi Jr. comes a few days after his third birthday celebration during which his parents penned heartwarming messages for him.

“I pray with all my heart that God grants you perfect health and pure happiness for as long as humanly possible. You will grow to be better than me, Happy birthday son,” wrote Davido.

Chioma, on her part, wrote: “Happy birthday to the love of my life. Mummy loves you so much, may God always bless you for me. God has been so faithful to us and I’m so grateful to be called your mummy. May you be greater than your parents in Jesus’ name, amen. Love you twin!”

Davido and Chioma were not available when their son drowned and were only informed of his condition after he was rushed to hospital.

The unfortunate event led the boy’s caretakers and domestic staff to be summoned for questioning regarding his death, as it is still unclear how he drowned in a home of more than nine caretakers.

Both Davido and Chioma are still silent on the matter and are yet to make a public statement, with Nigerian media outlets saying they’re still in shock and are heartbroken.

Celebrities and  politicians have since penned cryptic messages on their official social media pages to Davido and Chioma following the devastating news.
