Viral CCTV footage of boy drowning in pool not Davido’s son – Police

Davido, Chioma and son Ifeanyi

Lagos State Police Command spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin has reacted to a CCTV footage of a child many believed was Davido’s son Ifeanyi Adeleke, drowning in a pool.

The clip circulating on social media has gone viral with many claiming the victim was Ifeanyi whose death is being investigated by the police.

However, in a recent interview with BBC, Hundeyin described the video as “fake”.

“We haven’t started looking at the content of the CCTV we collected from Davido’s house. Any video you see online isn’t the real thing. It’s fake,” he said.

Ifeanyi died by drowning on Monday, October 31, eleven days after celebrating his third birthday.

Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland, a popular chef and influencer, have not yet commented on their son’s death.

During a trip to London last month, the duo announced they would be getting married next year.
