The Lagos State Police Command on Saturday said the autopsy conducted on the corpse of Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of Davido and
his fiancée, Chioma Rowland, revealed that he died as a result of drowning.
An impeccable source, who confirmed the development, said it was standard practice for the police to conduct an autopsy in
such a case, adding, however, that the police would desist from the move if the deceased family members were against it.
“Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the
standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death,” the
source said.
Explaining further, the source said out of the eight domestic workers interrogated by the police in connection with
Ifeanyi’s death, the cook and nanny, whose job was to cater for the wellbeing of the three-year-old boy, had been detained
for reasons including the failure to uphold the duty of care of the minor.
