The Idibia family has formally petitioned the Department of State Services (DSS) to investigate the sudden disappearance of their son, Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba. Concerns grew after the legendary Nigerian singer was reported missing under unclear circumstances.

Social media has since been abuzz with speculation and mixed reactions. While some fans expressed genuine worry, others questioned the necessity of the petition, citing that 2Baba is an adult capable of making his own decisions. A viral video showing him in a proposal scene added to the controversy, with many debating whether he disappeared willingly or due to external pressures.

Reactions poured in online, with users sharing humorous takes and conspiracy theories under the trending hashtag . Some questioned if his disappearance was related to family disagreements, while others dismissed it as another celebrity drama.

As of now, no official statement has been released by 2Baba’s management or close associates regarding his whereabouts. The DSS has also not confirmed whether they will take up the case.

With Valentine’s Day coinciding with the news, some netizens joked about the timing, while others stressed the importance of respecting the singer’s privacy. Whether 2Baba is intentionally off the grid or there’s a deeper issue at play, fans are eager for clarity.

It's really too early to forget this legend

The junta-led West African nations of Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso have formally withdrawn from the regional bloc known as ECOWAS, the body said on Wednesday, the culmination of a yearlong process during which the group tried to avert an unprecedented disintegration.

The withdrawal of the three countries, first announced a year ago, “has become effective today”, ECOWAS said in a statement.

The bloc, however, said that it has also decided to “keep ECOWAS' doors open”, requesting member nations to continue to accord the trio of nations membership privileges, including free movement within the region with an ECOWAS passport.
Widely seen as West Africa's top political and regional authority, the 15-nation ECOWAS was formed in 1975 to “promote economic integration” in member states. It has struggled in recent years to reverse rampant coups in the region where citizens have complained of not benefitting from rich natural resources.

The bloc has since grown to become the region's top political authority, often collaborating with states to solve domestic challenges on various fronts from politics to economics and security.

In parts of West Africa, however, ECOWAS has lost its effectiveness and support among citizens, who see it as representing only the interests of the leaders and not that of the masses, said Oge Onubogu, director of the Africa Programme at the Washington-based Wilson Centre think tank.

After coming into power, the juntas in Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso announced that they were leaving ECOWAS, and they created their own security partnership, the Alliance of Sahel States, in September.
