Natasha: Family petitions DSS over ‘2face’s disappearance’

The Idibia family has petitioned the Department of State Services, (DSS), declaring that popular singer 2face Idibia is missing.

The family, in a statement on Friday claimed 2face left home in his lounge wear on February 10, 2025, without his bodyguard and has not returned since then.

A statement issued by the family lawyer, Wilson Anuge, said they have received calls and messages from the singer soliciting financial help, an act they find concerning because 2face is financially sufficient and has no reason to beg.

They stated that 2face is dedicated to his work and is often writing songs or recording in the studio, but for the past few days, he has not shown up for any.

The statement reads in part, “Adding to the family’s distress are the calls from several of his close friends who have received messages from what appears 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 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 called on Nigerians to beg Natasha Osawuru, a member of the Edo State House of Assembly, to leave her son alone.

Her appeal is coming following the singer’s romantic affairs with Edo State lawmaker, Natasha Osawuru.

Blueprint recalls that 2face had proposed to the lawmaker shortly after he announced his divorce from Annie Idibia.
