He did not disclose the location because he feared people might besiege the station.

He said it was a station on Lagos Island.

The three-year-old reportedly drowned in the family’s swimming pool in Lagos and was underwater for an unspecified period before he was spotted.

He was allegedly rushed to a hospital, where he was confirmed dead.

There has been no news from Davido, and the child’s mother, Chioma Rowland, also known as Chef Chi.

No member of Davido’s record group, the 30BG family, confirmed or debunked the news.

However, celebrities and fans of the musician are reacting to the news of the boy’s death with shock and disbelief.

Celebrities posted about the tragic news and expressed condolences to the bereaved family, including Iyabo Ojo, Ay the Comedian, William Uchemba, and Paul Okoye.

Kindly note that details of how the child reportedly drowned are still sketchy.
