The police in Lagos has stated its position on the alleged arrest of Eniola Badmus, a very close friend of Davido, late Ifeanyi Adeleke’s dad.
They denied arresting the actress over the death of of the toddler who died by drowning on Monday, October 31, 11 days after celebrating his third birthday.
Rumours about Eniola’s arrest began making the rounds in the early hours of Saturday. Several blogs claimed that the actress called Ifeanyi’s nanny on phone to distract her from noticing the boy who had left the room for the swimming pool.
However, police spokesperson Benjamin Hundeyin told BBC Pidgin that Eniola was not arrested.
“The story is false, nothing like that happened,” Hundeyin said.
Eniola Badmus was one of the first celebrities that announced the death of Ifeanyi in a cryptic message.
Moments after her post, Nigerians stormed the comment section, accusing her of using the boy’s death as a means of gaining more popularity. Others lambasted her, saying it was insensitive to announce the death of a child before confirmation from the parents.
With things spiralling out of control, Eniola was forced to delete the post on Instagram and Facebook.
The 38-year-old also came under fire on Thursday after posting now-deleted videos about the death of Ifeanyi on her YouTube channel.
