Ifeanyi Adeleke: Davido's nanny and chef may be held accountable for his son's death due to carelessness

 The two domestic workers who were apprehended in connection with the deaths of Ifeanyi Adeleke, 3, and Chioma Rowland, his fiancée, could be charged with carelessness. Ifeanyi was the son of well-known artist Davido. The cook and the nanny were reportedly directly responsible for Ifeanyi's wellbeing, according to PUNCH, which obtained this information from a reliable source on Wednesday.  The source said, “The cook and the nanny were the ones directly with the child, so, they are guilty of negligence until the autopsy is conducted. During investigation, we have suspects, and depending on the case, the suspects may or may not be released.

“So far, the family has not objected to the autopsy, but how fast it will be done depends on the hospital. But the next move is to review the CCTV at the house.” 

Following Ifeanyi's drowning in a pool at his father's home in the Banana Island region of Lagos State, the police detained the cook and nanny while releasing six other staff. In order to prevent influencing the course of the case's investigation, state police public relations officer SP Benjamin Hundeyin declined to provide additional information when asked for a follow-up reply. 

He said, “If we need to detain them for longer than necessary, we will obtain a court order so as to ensure that we are not doing over detention or illegal detention.

“I can’t give much details about an ongoing investigation, but those two people detained are assisting us in our investigation. Those that were released have little or no bearing to the case but the two people detained are assisting us.

“Eight people were brought in for questioning, six people were allowed to go, the remaining two were the ones that have been placed under arrest and that makes them suspect.”
