The family of Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2face or 2baba, has petitioned the Department of State Services over his whereabouts, declaring him missing.
In a petition signed by their lawyer, Wilson Anuge, dated February 7 According to PUNCH, the Idibia family stated that the singer had been missing since February 10, 2025.
The family said 2face left his residence on that day in his loungewear, suggesting that he was going for his habitual walk, but he never returned home.
The family said, “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), whom our client reasonably believes has been missing since Monday, February 10, 2025.
“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.”
It added that 2Baba had never gone missing before, nor had he ever abandoned his work for such an extended period, and it was out of character for him to be completely out of touch.
They also expressed concern over calls from several of his close friends who had received messages from what appeared to be his social media accounts soliciting financial assistance.
“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.
