The family of music icon 2Baba has petitioned the Inspector General of Police, IGP, against his wife, Natasha Osawaru.
They accuse Natasha of money theft, bigamy, assault, substance misuse, and an alleged threat to life.
In the widely shared appeal dated November 12, the Idibia family asked Nigerian police to look into situations they said had cost 2Baba money, given them emotional distress, and damaged their reputation.
According to the petition, the singer’s family was informed by him and other witnesses that he had been physically assaulted in Abuja and the UK, and that Natasha had transferred money from the music icon’s bank accounts without his consent.
She was also accused of withholding the musician’s international passport and other personal documents, preventing him from honoring business engagements, which has exposed him to public embarrassment and potential financial setbacks.
