Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as Tuface, has finally reacted to a missing person’s report made to security agencies by his mother.
About two months ago, Tuface’s mother wrote to the Department of State Services (DSS), seeking help in locating the singer, whom she insisted the family did not know his whereabouts.
Although the singer has been sighted in public on several occasions since the missing person’s report, Tuface has now addressed it.
The singer spoke on the controversy while performing at a recent comedy show.
Speaking sarcastically, Tuface said the show is to help raise ransom for his kidnappers to release him.
He said, “Allegedly I have been missing. Allegedly I have been kidnapped. So as we come Acapella show, this show is to generate money for the kidnappers to release me.”
The singer’s statement comes weeks after his new lover, Natasha Osawaru, also responded to insinuations that she is keeping him against his will.
She pointed out that he was an adult who came to her after choosing her. She also spoke about the controversial bead the singer has on his hands and neck insisting it was not diabolical.
Tuface and Natasha have continued to make public appearances together despite being targeted for criticism by the public.
Recently, comedian Justice Nuagbe aka Ushbebe called for national prayers for 2Baba over his relationship with Natasha.
In a video, Ushbebe questioned the dynamics of their relationship, suggesting there’s more to it than meets the eye.
Ushbebe expressed unease about how 2Baba follows Natasha around, likening it to a “schoolboy” behaviour.
In addition to the national prayers he called for, the comedian also urged 2Baba to “free himself” from Natasha’s influence.
He said, “I like minding my business, but on this particular issue, I have to speak up. Which one is all these rubbish na? Which one be all these see finish na? You go dey hold legend’s hand, dey carry am waka like person wey you wan go drop for school. Let’s just call for prayers for legend o!
“Dem go hold legends hand dey carry am waka like tata wey dem wan go drop for school. Legend supposed be legend o, 2Face free yourself. Emancipate yourself o! I like keep quiet before but [dis one] go hard me.”
