This comes after news of Eniola Badmus’s arrest began circulating early on Saturday morning.
Multiple blogs asserted that the actress contacted Ifeanyi’s babysitter to prevent her from realizing that the boy had left the room to go to the pool.
Eniola was not arrested, police spokesman Benjamin Hundeyin informed BBC Pidgin in response to the reports.
“THE STORY IS FALSE, NOTHING LIKE THAT HAPPENED,” HUNDEYIN SAID.
