The state Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the development on Saturday.

Hundeyin said, “Autopsy has been concluded. It confirms the boy (Ifeanyi) drowned.”

There were indications that the police might conduct an autopsy to determine whether Ifeanyi died as a result of drowning in a swimming pool at his father’s residence in the Banana Island area of Lagos State.

A source, who confirmed the development, said it was standard practice for the police to conduct an autopsy in such a case, adding, however, that the police would desist from the move if the deceased family members were against it.

“Though the family members are not saying anything yet because they are still in shock but until anybody says stop, the standard procedure is to conduct an autopsy and we are going to follow that procedure just like in any case of death,” the source said.

Explaining further, the source said out of the eight domestic workers interrogated by the police in connection with Ifeanyi’s death, the cook and nanny, whose job was to cater for the wellbeing of the three-year-old boy, had been detained for reasons including the failure to uphold the duty of care of the minor.

As of the time of filing this report, the nanny and cook were said to still be in detention.

Meanwhile, controversy was swelling around the role played by star actress, Eniola Badmus in the whole matter. There were reports that the nanny was distracted by a phone call said to have come from Ms Badmus and hence lost track of Ifeanyi.

Those accounts were followed by reports that Eniola Badmus had been arrested or invited by the police. However, those reports have yet to be confirmed.
