JUST IN: 2FACE’S FAMILY DECLARES HIM MISSING, ASKS DSS FOR HELP

“We believe that Mr Innocent left his residence in the early hours of 10 February 2025 in his loungewear, suggesting that he was going for his habitual walk, but he has not returned home since then. Despite the best efforts of his family, staff, and the management of his record label to reach or locate him—including contacting his friends and acquaintances—they have been unable to establish any contact or ascertain his whereabouts.

“This disturbing situation, coupled with the fact that those who should have heard from him have not done so for over 72 hours, has left his entire family deeply concerned,” the petition read in part.

The family pointed out that 2Baba had never before gone AWOL or disregarded his job for so long. They went on to say that his total lack of touch was out of character.

Concern was also raised by calls from a number of his close friends who said they had received messages from what seemed to be his social media accounts requesting money.

“These messages are alarming, as Mr Innocent is financially independent and has never required assistance in such a manner. This has led his family to suspect that his identity may have been compromised and that someone may have abducted him, actively manipulating him to exploit his contacts for monetary gain.

“The implications of this situation are grave, and the possibility of foul play or coercion cannot be overlooked. As a family, our clients are deeply worried not only about his physical safety but also about the potential misuse of his identity while he remains unaccounted for.”

The family, therefore, requested the intervention of the DSS, urging the agency to use its resources and expertise to locate 2Baba.

“It is worthy of note that the victim is a legend and holds a celebrity status in the Nigerian music industry, with countless youths and citizens looking up to him—not to mention his wife, children, relatives, and employees, who are now traumatised. His musical empire has also been left in a state of paralysis as a direct consequence of the suspect’s criminal act of abducting him and rendering him incommunicado.

“Our humble request is that you intervene urgently to investigate, locate, and rescue the victim from wherever the suspect is currently detaining him.”

A previous report noted that a video went viral on Thursday showing the singer proposing to a lawmaker in the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osaruwa, just hours after professing his desire to marry her.

The proposal came amid reports of his planned divorce from his estranged wife, Annie Idibia.

Meanwhile, 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, released a video on Friday urging Nigerians to plead with Natasha to release her son, stating that he had not been himself lately.
