Family declares 2Baba missing, petitions DSS

The family of music veteran Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has declared him missing and petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS).

The petition signed by Wilson Anuge on behalf of Anuge, Anuge & Co., went viral on social media on Friday, February 14, 2025.

The petition read: “We are writing to urgently seek your assistance regarding a profoundly troubling situation involving a member of the Idibia Family.

“Mr Innocent Idibia (also known as Tuface or 2Baba) our client, is reasonably believed to be missing since Monday, February 10.

“We believe that Mr Innocent left his residence in the early hours of February 10 in his loungewear, suggestive that he was going on his habitual walk, but never returned home since then.

“In spite of the best efforts of his family members, staff and management of his Record Label to reach or locate him, including reaching out to his friends and acquaintances, proved abortive.

“They have been unable to establish any contact or ascertain his whereabouts.”

2Baba’s mother to Edo lawmaker: He’s not in his right senses, free my son

This is coming within 24 hours when 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, urged Nigerians to beg the Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawuru, to leave her son.

Rose alleged in a viral video that the 31-year-old lawmaker had cast a spell on him.

She said the singer was not in his right senses when he proposed to Osawaru, adding that her son’s ongoing divorce battle with his estranged wife, Annie, was affecting him.

She said: “Good evening, Nigerians. My name is Mrs Rose Idibia, the mother of 2face.

“This message is for Miss Natasha Osawaru of Edo State. I’m calling on all mothers in Nigeria to help me beg her to free my son.

“My son is going through a divorce process, and he is clearly not in his right senses now. I know my son well. That is not him.

“Please Natasha, the beads you put on his hand and on his neck, remove them and free him.”

2Baba and Osawaru’s romance has caused a buzz within the week after the singer was seen visiting the Edo State House of Assembly complex and the duo were later spotted together at a nightclub in Lagos State.
