Details of how the gift was delivered, or whether Boniface accompanied it with a personal message, have not been independently confirmed.
Zlatan and Davita's wedding announcement
Zlatan, whose full name is Omoniyi Raphael, and Davita went public with their wedding date through a pre-wedding video shared on social media, Arise News reports.
The clip featured a voiceover by their eldest son, Shiloh, who spoke about love, laughter and the close bond within their family.
The couple also have a second son, Benaiah.
The pair have largely kept their private life away from public scrutiny over the years, making the announcement video a rare and personal glimpse into their family.
Reports from 2026 had earlier suggested a quiet civil ceremony had taken place, but the October date now appears set as their main celebration.
Zlatan built his reputation on hit tracks such as "Zanku" and "Lagos Anthem", while Davita, also known as Davita Lamai, has maintained a lower profile outside her appearances alongside the singer.
Boniface's Super Eagles career
Boniface made his senior Nigeria debut in 2023 but missed out on the Super Eagles squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, which was played in early 2024 due to injury, per Transfermarkt.
At club level, his performances for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany drew considerable attention, with his physicality and movement making him a consistent attacking threat in European football.
His international appearances have spanned Africa Cup of Nations qualifying and FIFA World Cup qualifying fixtures.
He has contributed at least one senior international assist, and he remains among Nigeria's pool of forward options under the current coaching setup.
