The police however, have kept secret the police station or formation where the suspect were being questioned .
A senior police officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said ,” for now we don’t want to disclose where the invited workers are being questioned. This is because of the sensitive nature of the case. You know that Davido has a lot of fans, we don’t want them to overun our station, and start causing troubles. They have been making enquiries to know their whereabouts,but it will remain a secret for now”.

“Anyone who is not culpable would be released immediately, the ones found culpable of negligence would be held back to assist the command in the ongoing investigation.
“Ifeanyi’s death is confirmed. His (Davido’s) domestic workers have been brought in for questioning and anybody found not culpable will be allowed to go immediately
“About eight of them were brought in to narrate their version of what happened to assist us in getting what really happened.
“At the end of their narrations, whoever that is found not guilty of negligence or not culpable in anyway will be allowed to go.
“Anybody found culpable will stay back to assist us in further investigation. The domestic workers are about eight that were brought in.”
