By Oluwarantimi Oludase 

‎Popular Nigerian veteran singer, King Sunny Ade, has been declared missing by his daughter, Damilola Adeniyi.


‎The veteran singer's daughter, Damilola Adeniyi, took to her Instagram page to draw the attention of the public, as she claimed that her father has been missing for some days now, and is working under duress.


‎According to her, some close individuals including her stepbrother have been involved in kidnapping her father.


‎She further called on the Nigerian Police Force to come to her rescue, while urging the general public to refrain from booking the music icon for shows presently because he is working under duress.


‎She said:
‎"This is not a family feud!!! I got the evidence!! He needs to be with safe people, and I want him out of their reach!! They are stealing from him and not letting him rest even while on medication.

‎They keep taking him to hotels. While giving the house keys to one of Dad’s friend’s sons to hold names (Moshood) and his sister (Simia). His biological children can not reach him, and he hasn’t, been home!! He has not been at his offices!! And the rest of the family has been blocked from going to his shows (It even doesn’t look good for his family to be looking for him at shows). Plus, most are scared to even speak up about it!!

‎I want my dad to get in touch ASAP.

‎My dad has been kidnapped and is working under duress!!

‎The truth shall be revealed!!”.

‎“King Sunny Ade!
‎My dad has been kidnapped!
‎And he is working under duress!

‎I need the Nigerian pol!ce!!
‎My dad
‎King Sunny Ade has been kidnapped
‎Please don’t book him now!
‎He is working duress."
