Concerns are growing among fans and industry observers regarding the well-being of one of Nigeria’s most celebrated musical icons, following shocking allegations related to a family dispute.
Damilola Adeniyi Adegeye, the daughter of Nigerian juju music legend King Sunny Ade, has accused her step-brother of abducting their father. In a series of emotional Instagram stories, Damilola alleged that her father had been "kidnapped" by his manager, who is also her step-brother, Dayo. She claimed that Dayo carried out the act with the assistance of their mother, as well as siblings Demola and Kenny, along with a driver named Ade.
“King Sunny Ade has been kidnapped. The manager (Dayo) is the culprit along with his mother, brothers (Demola and Kenny) and his driver Ade,” Damilola wrote.
She further claimed the 77-year-old singer is being forced to work against his will.
“He keeps working, but the family is not seeing the money. Bro D, stop booking the shows and let him rest, so he can take care of his family,” she said.
Despite his public appearances, Damilola claims that Sunny Ade’s actual whereabouts remain unknown to even close family members.
“No one knows his whereabouts in the family, and everyone is looking for him,” she stated, accusing Dayo of “misleading the family.”
Calling it an “emergency,” she appealed to the Nigerian police and urged fans and event organisers not to engage the singer until the situation is clarified.
“Please don’t book him now. He is working under duress!”
As of now, there has been no official response from Dayo or other members of the Adegeye family, and the police have not released a public statement either. The shocking allegations have raised concerns among fans and industry observers, prompting questions about the well-being of one of Nigeria's most celebrated musical icons.
