It was unclear how the young boy ended up dead in a swimming pool when he had been left in the care of his nanny.

A close family source has now shared with the Nigerian blog 'lindaikejiblog.com' what transpired on that fateful day. 

The Nanny was with Ifeanyi before the Chef came to join them. 

The Nanny was said to have moved away to receive a call, unknown to her the little boy would wander off to his death.

Having been with the Chef the nanny thought the child was being taken care of, unknown to her the child's lifeless body was floating in the swimming pool.

When she returned, she couldn’t find Ifeanyi and assumed he was with the Chef but that was not the case.

The chef alleged he had left the boy with the nanny, it is then that they started looking for him.

"They began to frantically look for Ifeanyi all over the house for close to 20 mins until a security guard spotted him in the pool. No one could explain how the boy got in the pool."

Davido and Chioma have not made any public statement regarding the death.

Before the untimely demise, Davido had written a sweet message to his only son as he had just celebrated his 3rd birthday.

"I pray with all my heart that God grants you perfect health and pure happiness for as long as humanly possible. You will grow to be greater than Me, Happy birthday, son," read a heartfelt post.
