Davido and his fiancée Chioma Rowland, a popular chef and influencer, have not yet commented on their son’s death.

Police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin told the BBC that one of couple’s domestic staff called the police at 22:00 local time (21:00 GMT).

He confirmed that eight members of staff had been invited in for questioning – and anyone with a case to answer would be arrested.

“We are reviewing the CCTV cameras to get additional information about the circumstances of his death,” Hundeyin said.

During a trip to London last month, he and Chioma Rowland announced they would be getting married next year.
