Nigeria's iconic pop star 2face Idibia has made his first trip abroad since he was shot on Thursday October 4, shortly after returning from England where he was named MOBO best African act for 2007. The 32 year-old singer left the country last week for the United States where he's expected to take a deserved vacation, record fresh materials and honour a few engagements.

His manager Joice Ize-Iyamu is also holidaying in England

She confirmed 2face's trip, but declined providing specific details. She however insisted the trip is in no way connected with medical treatment.

There had been speculations Idibia would be flown abroad for further treatment. But the singer was already walking properly, and he had resumed his normal day-to-day life. He even visited his parents in Abuja shortly before leaving the country.
