The Lagos State Police Command has said the autopsy conducted on the corpse of Ifeanyi Adeleke, son of music super star Davido and his fiancée, Chioma Rowland, has shown that he died as a result of drowning.

Lagos police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin confirmed the development in a chat with reporters on Saturday.
Hundeyin said: “Autopsy has been concluded. It confirms the boy (Ifeanyi) drowned.”
Recall Adeleke’s family never objected to an autopsy after remains were recovered from the swimming pool at Davido’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos.
Late Ifeanyi’s nanny and a cook are still being detained by police for investigation.
