Singer, 2Baba has been reported missing by his family, who have now petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate his sudden disappearance.
In a letter dated February 7, the Idibia family expressed grave concerns, stating that 2Baba was last seen on February 10 after leaving his residence in loungewear, suggesting he was out for his usual morning walk. But he never returned.
This incident is out of character for the Afrobeats star, who is known to always move with bodyguards and a strict security protocol. His family finds it “strange” that he left unaccompanied, sparking fears of foul play.
To add to their worries, several friends claimed they received unusual messages from his social media accounts asking for financial help. This behavior, they say, is unlike 2Baba, who is financially secure and has never made such requests before.
The family suspects his identity may have been compromised or that he might have been abducted, with someone potentially manipulating his accounts for fraud. They have urged the DSS to take swift action, fearing he could be under coercion or at risk of harm.
This shocking development follows a turbulent period in 2Baba’s personal life. He recently announced his split from Annie Idibia, his long-time partner, and declared a new relationship with Edo state lawmaker Natasha Osawaru. The proposal, caught on video, went viral, showing him presenting Natasha with a ring and sealing it with an emotional embrace.
But the drama didn’t stop there. 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, made a public plea, urging Natasha to leave her son alone, hinting that her son wasn’t in the right state of mind. She even suggested that spiritual influences could be at play, pointing to the beads Natasha placed on his hand and neck.
“Please, Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him,” she said, calling on all Nigerian mothers to join her in appealing to the lawmaker.
Natasha, 30, is not just any politician. She’s a rising star in the Edo state house of assembly, the granddaughter of billionaire Gabriel Igbinedion, and a power player in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Her romance with 2Baba has only added to the intrigue.
As the Idibia family seeks the DSS’s intervention, questions swirl about the true nature of 2Baba’s disappearance. Is this a case of abduction, identity theft, or something more complex tied to his personal relationships?
With his musical empire in limbo and his loved ones in distress, the nation watches closely, hoping for his safe return.
