The ongoing controversy surrounding Nigerian music star Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia’s divorce from his wife, Annie Macaulay, and his proposal to Natasha Osawaru continues to capture widespread attention.
In a video, 2Baba’s mother, Rose Idibia, accused Osawaru, the deputy majority leader of the Edo State House of Assembly, of placing a spell on her son.
She claimed that 2Baba was not in his right mind when he proposed to the 30-year-old lawmaker and urged her to release him.

The proposal has sparked significant discussion on social media, particularly due to 2Baba’s ongoing divorce and the notable similarities between this engagement and his previous proposal to Annie.
However, the situation took a dramatic twist on Friday when 2Baba’s family filed a petition with the Department of State Services (DSS), declaring him missing.
The petition signed by Wilson Anuge on behalf of Anuge, Anuge & Co. 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) who our client reasonably believe may be missing since Monday 10 February, 2025.
“We believe that Mr Innocent left his residence in the early hours of 10 February 2025 in his loungewear, suggestive that he was going on his habitual walk, but never returned home since then. Despite the best efforts of members of his family, his staff and management of his Record Label to reach or locate him, including reaching out to his friends and acquaintances, they have been unable to establish any contact or ascertain his whereabouts.”
The family of the ‘African Queen’ hitmaker disclosed that since 2Baba left home, neither his record label, staff, nor close associates have been able to contact him.
They expressed significant concern over his unexpected disappearance, highlighting that his lack of communication had caused serious worry among his family and friends.
They described his disappearance as highly unusual, noting that he had never been unreachable for such an extended period before.
“By reason of his celebrity status. It’s established protocol for Mr Innocent to be accompanied by protective guards wherever he goes. However, on the day he was last seen, he left his residence unaccompanied by his protective guards, his Personal Assistant, or any of his staff. This disturbing discovery and the fact that those who ought to hear from him have not heard from him for over 72 hours left his entire family deeply concerned.
“Mr Innocent is a responsible individual, a family man and a dedicated artist who is very passionate about his art and often dedicates the better part of his time to songwriting, recording, and other studio-related activities. He’s never gone missing before, nor has he ever abandoned his work for such protracted hours”, said the family.
The family also suggested that the singer’s sudden disappearance might indicate he has been abducted.
Furthermore, they pointed out that since his disappearance, his friends have received several calls from unknown individuals using his social media account to ask for financial help.
The singer’s family said, “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.
“Adding to the family’s distress are the calls from several of his close friends that have received messages from what appears to be his social media account soliciting financial assistance. The implications of this situation are grave, and the possibility of foul play and 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 also mentioned that the distress call, along with other factors, led them to request the intervention of the DSS.
They expressed confidence that the agency has the necessary resources and expertise to help locate their son.
“In light of the above, I earnestly request the intervention of the Department of State Services to assist in locating Mr Innocent. The Services’ resources and expertise in handling issues of personal safety and coercion.
“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.”
2Baba’s family stated that his disappearance had caused significant trauma to them and his employees, leaving his musical empire in a state of stagnation.
“It is worthy of note that the victim is a legend and holds a celebrity status in the Nigerian music industry, and whom countless youths and citizens emulate, not to mention the victim’s wife, children, relations and employees who have become traumatised, 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.”
