D’banj in dilemma over Ikoyi residence

D'banj

Music star, D’banj, is in a dilemma over what to do with the building where his 13-month-old son, Daniel Jr, died in a drowning accident in June.

D’banj was away in the United States at the time of the tragedy.

His wife, Lineo, who was said to be at home when the incident happened, immediately travelled out of the country to join her husband.

Three months after the tragic incident, D’banj is back in the country and contemplating what to do with the house.

A source close to the musician told Qed.ng that he is weighing the option of selling it because of the sad memory it arouses.

“D’banj and his wife are considering selling the house but some people have advised them not to,” the source told this online newspaper under condition of anonymity.

The building, which is the only one the musician has to his name, is said to have cost him something in the region of N560million.

“It will not be easy to raise that kind of funds to build another house, the source added.

There is also fear that prospective buyers may take advantage of D’banj’s emotional state to undervalue the building.

“Some people have, however, advised him to move back in and possibly seal off the swimming pool area where his son drowned,” the source concluded.
