Gov. Oyetola condoles Davido over son's death

Gov. Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun has condoled with the ace singer, David Adedeji, also known as Davido, over the death of his son, Ifeanyi.

Oyetola, in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Ismail Omipidan, on Tuesday in Osogbo, said Ifeanyi's death was a loss no responsible person would ever wish.

The governor also sympathized with Davido's father, Dr. Deji Adeleke, over the death of his grandson.

Oyetola said that, as a grandfather himself, he feels Adeleke's pain.

The governor prayed to God to comfort him and the entire family at this trying time.

"On behalf of myself and the people of Osun, I sympathize with Davido over the death of his son, Ifeanyi.

"I know how painful it is to see a boy we all saw last week, bubbling with life, now be referred to in the past.

"I pray to God to comfort you and Chioma. Rest assured that very soon God will bless you both with another son who will live long enough to fulfill his dreams in life.

"I pray God gives you both and your parents the fortitude to bear this painful loss," Oyetola said.

Ifeanyi was said to have drowned in a swimming pool at the singer's residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos on Monday.

The police in Lagos State said eight domestic staff members of the singer had been brought in for questioning over the incident.

The command's spokesman, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, who confirmed this on Tuesday, said, "Anyone found not culpable will be let off, while those found culpable will be prosecuted."
