The family of Nigerian singer 2Face Idibia has filed a petition with the Inspector General of Police alleging that his wife, Natasha Osawuru, has engaged in financial misappropriation, assault and other misconduct. The petition, which surfaced online, claims that Osawuru has caused the singer significant financial loss, emotional distress and reputational damage.
According to the petition dated 12 November, the Idibia family received reports from the singer and other witnesses alleging physical assault in Abuja and the United Kingdom. It is further alleged that Osawuru transferred money from 2Face’s bank accounts without his authorization and withheld his international passport and other personal documents, preventing him from honoring business engagements.
The family has expressed concerns over the singer’s safety and emotional well‑being, urging the police to investigate alleged violations of marriage laws and possible fraudulent misrepresentation. The petition notes that 2Face had not completed divorce proceedings with his estranged wife, Annie Macauley Idibia, before Osawuru presented herself as his new wife. Allegations against Osawuru also include substance abuse leading to violent behaviour, emotional distress and financial loss for 2Face, as well as possible bigamy and fraudulent misrepresentation, which the family requests be properly investigated.
The controversy escalated recently when 2Face’s ex‑managers, Kaka Igbokwe and Lori Tosan, accused Osawuru of seeking control over the singer’s finances and career during an Instagram livestream. The situation turned physical when 2Face joined the live session and a physical altercation with Osawuru ensued. In response, the Edo State House of Assembly has summoned Osawuru, a member of the assembly, to appear before its committee over her conduct.
The singer’s family has also reached out to him, with his younger brother, Hyacinth Idibia, urging 2Face to allow them to intervene. The police are expected to investigate the allegations and take necessary action to address the concerns raised by the Idibia family.
