It just breaks our heart to hear this news about Dbanj and his wife Didi who lost their sweet toddler to a drowning incident at their home pool recently.
The singer’s son Daniel III, who turned one year in May, drowned in a pool on Sunday at the couple’s Ikoyi residence in Lagos. He was one year-old in May.
There is nothing sadder for a parent than the loss of a child. We pray that God will comfort them in a way only he can at this time.
D’Banj the bereaved father shared a black picture on his Instagram page @iambangalee with the message “Trying Times ??. But my God is Always and Forever Faithful ?”.

Investigation
In another development, the Lagos state police command released a statement asking D’banj and his wife to report the circumstances of the boy’s death to the police station after their mourning period.
