The traditional ruler of Orangun Oke-Ila in Osun state, Oba Adedokun Omoniyi Abolarin, revealed that Davido’s mum, Mrs. Veronica Adeleke, saved his son from drowning in the swimming pool 25 years ago.
Oba Adedokun made the revelation in a Facebook post after Davido’s son, Ifeanyi drowned in a swimming pool in their Banana Island mansion, Lekki, Lagos.
Oba Abolarin wrote: “Amen and Amen. So sad, it was David’s mummy, Late Dr Mrs Veronica Adeleke that rescued my own son inside the swimming pool, some twenty five years ago.
“I am sad, what Veronica did for my son years back, nobody, I mean nobody to play that same role for Veronica’s grandson, Ifeanyi!!! Who are we to query God, may his soul rest in peace and may Veronica’s soul continue to rest in peace. Fantastic woman!”.
