The family of Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, aka 2baba, has declared him missing and taken steps to find him. This is coming after news of his engagement to Natasha Osawaru, an Edo lawmaker, buzzed the internet.
On February 14, 2025, a copy of the petition went viral on social media and it was gathered that the Idibia family had involved the Department of State Service (DSS) to locate 2baba.
It was said that the music star had been missing since February 10, 2025, after leaving the house in loungewear, suggesting that he was going for a walk.

However, 2baba is said to have not returned home since then and efforts to reach him by members of his family and staff had proved abortive.
In the document, it was also stated that the family was more distressed after messages were sent from 2baba’s social media accounts, soliciting funds from people.
His family claimed the singer has always been independent and the monetary requests had led them to believe that he may have been abducted and someone was trying to exploit his contacts for money.

2baba is not missing - Media expert
In a chat with Legit.ng, Nigerian social media expert, Tobiloba Oluwatoyin, shared why he believes 2baba isn't missing, contrary to his family's claims. He said:
"2Baba is not missing, he has been posting on his social media. Why is it when he started posting his new boo that they know he was missing? Why not when he made the first post. I just think the family is trying to look good for the public and nothing else, nothing is wrong with 2Baba, he knows what he is doing, so does his family."
2baba's mum begs Natasha to free him
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that 2baba's mother, Mrs Rose Idibia, reacted to her son's engagement to Honorable Natasha Osawaru.
In a video posted online, the singer’s mum called on all mothers in Nigeria to help her beg Natasha Osawaru to ‘free’ her son.
According to her, 2baba acted unnaturally and his recent actions were not his. The singer’s mum then told Natasha to remove the beads from her son’s hand and neck.
