Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has condoled with star musician, D’banj, and his wife on the tragic loss of their son, Daniel.
Little Daniel died from a drowning accident at home in Ikoyi, Lagos on Sunday.
He was 13 months old.
In a statement issued in Abuja on Tuesday, Mohammed said although words can never be enough to console them, they should take solace in the outpouring of sympathy from Nigerians.
“My prayers and kindest thoughts are with you and your family at this trying time. May God give you the strength and the comfort that will see you through,” he said.
The Lagos State Police Command has also condoled with the grieving parents.
A statement signed by police spokesman, Chike Oti, said policemen visited D’banj’s home on Monday but met no one around.
While condoling with the parents, the police requested that they make a formal report of circumstances leading to their child’s death after the mourning period.
