Singer Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia has broken his silence, dispelling concerns about his safety seven weeks after he was declared missing by his family.
He appeared at comedian Acapella’s show ‘Two Kings & A Guy’ at Eko Hotel, Lagos, on Sunday. While performing, he addressed rumours surrounding his alleged disappearance, according to PREMIUM TIMES.
He said, “Okay, you know what’s happening—allegedly I have been missing, I have been kidnapped. As we came for Acapella’s show—this show is to generate money for the kidnappers to release.”
His comments came after weeks of speculation and concern surrounding his sudden absence from public life and social media, especially amid a very public marital fallout with Annie Macaulay and a surprising engagement to a new partner, Deputy Majority Leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, Natasha Osawaru.
On 14 February, PREMIUM TIMES reported that 2Baba’s family had filed a petition with the State Security Services (SSS), declaring the singer missing.
The letter, signed by Wilson Anuge of Anuge, Anuge & Co., stated that 2Baba had not been seen or contacted since 10 February.
The petition said 2Baba left home in loungewear for a walk and never returned. With no contact and odd social media activity, his family feared abduction and urged the DSS to intervene, saying the ordeal had traumatised them and halted his career.
