Why his death shocked me – Ned Nwoko commiserates with Davido

Nigerian politician and businessman, Ned Nwoko has joined the family of the Adelekes to mourn the death of their son and grandson, Ifeanyi Adeleke.

Ifeanyi drowned in a pool at Davido’s house in Banana Island, Lagos State. The youngster was reportedly rushed to a nearby hospital after the incident, where he was confirmed dead.

Grieving over his unexpected demise, Ned Nwoko said the news of Ifeanyi’s death came as a shock to him and his wife, Regina because he knows how Davido dots affectionately on his son and his wife to-be, Chioma.

And as a cherished brother/ friend, he said Davido and Chioma are close in his thoughts and have his full support in this difficult moment.

The popular businessman also prayed to God to comfort him, Chioma and indeed the rest of his family, as they bear this painful loss with courage, and fortitude.
