The Lagos State Police Command on Saturday said autopsy conducted on the corpse of Ifeanyi Adeleke confirmed that the three-year-old died as a result of drowning.

The police also said two suspects arrested in connection with the tragic incident are still being quizzed.

“The two suspects are still with us. Autopsy has been concluded. The autopsy confirmed that he (Ifeanyi) died by drowning,” Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Benjamin Hundeyin said today.

On whether the two principal suspects will be charged in court, the police spokesman said, “I don’t want to preempt that. Investigation is still ongoing.”

Hundeyin also debunked rumors that actress Eniola Badmus was arrested in connection with the case.

Rumours of Eniola’s arrest started early hours of this morning with many blogs claiming the police had picked her up over the death of Ifeanyi Adeleke.

The blogs had claimed, the actress was the one that called the nanny around the time Ifeanyi drowned and that the nanny had claimed the call distracted her.,

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 publicly mourned Ifeanyi on social media.

Ifeanyi died by drowning on Monday, October 31, eleven days after celebrating his third birthday.
