The Idibia family has petitioned the Department of State Services, DSS, stating that popular singer 2face Idibia is missing.
The family, in a statement, said the ‘African Queen’ crooner left home in his loungewear on February 10, 2025, without his bodyguard and has not returned since then.
The family of Iconic musician, Innocent Idibia has petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) to report that their son whose stage name is known as 2face Idibia is missing.
According to their statement, the artist, famous for his hit song “African Queen,” left his home wearing lounge clothes on February 10, 2025, without his bodyguard, and has not been seen since.
The statement highlights that 2face is usually dedicated to his work, spending time writing songs or recording in the studio.
However, recently, he has not appeared for any of his usual activities. The family is also distressed by messages from what seem to be his social media accounts, asking his close friends for financial help.
“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 and is 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.
“It is worthy of note that the victim is a legend and holds a celebrity status in the Nigerian music industry, whom countless youths and citizens emulate, not to mention the victim’s wife, children, relations, and employees who have become traumatized, and his musical empire, which is now rendered comatose as a direct consequence of the suspect’s criminal act of abducting the victim 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. We anticipate your unalloyed cooperation in this regard.”
Recall that Rose Idibia, the mother of 2face, had appealed to Nigerians to beg Natasha Osawuru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, to leave her son alone.
Rose made this known in a viral video on Thursday night.
She claimed that her son may not be acting in his right senses. Rose also appealed to the lawmaker to remove the “beads she put on 2face’s hand and his neck.”
