Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of popular music artiste, Davido, and his fiancée, Chioma Rowland is reportedly dead.
Unconfirmed reports said Davido’s first son drowned in a swimming pool at his residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State.
The rumored death emanated from a post from actress, Eniola Badmus, late Monday. The post has now been deleted.
In a bid to revive him, the three-year-old victim, after being pulled out of the swimming pool, was reportedly rushed to a hospital in the Lekki area of the state, where he was confirmed dead by one of the doctors on duty.
The victim’s family had yet to react to the tragic development as of the time this report was filed.
However, since the news of Ifeanyi’s rumored death became public knowledge, Nigerians, particularly entertainment lovers, had been outraged and traumatised by the development.
In a cryptic message, popular comedian, Ayo Makun, in an Instagram post early Tuesday, wrote, “The death of a child is unnatural, unfair, and tragic, this hit me so bad.”
Other celebrities also have posted messages that appear to confirm the death of Ifeanyi.
Daddy Freeze, who went live on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday morning said, “When the person you love is someone involved it becomes a heavy emotional burden. I am not confirming anything but bear with me I will not be live tonight.”
Comedian Lasisi Elenu also posted, “Father heal your children’s heart from this pain, strengthen them in such a dark and hurtful time oh Lord.”
As of 1.28am, news of Ifeanyi’s rumored death was the most trending topic on Twitter.
