Concerns have emerged over the whereabouts of Nigerian music icon, Chief Sunday Adeniyi Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade, after his daughter, Damilola Esther Adeniyi-Adegeye, claimed he is missing and may have been abducted.

Damilola took to Instagram on Monday to voice her fears, alleging that her father is being held against his will by those within his inner circle. She specifically accused his manager and stepbrother, Dayo Adegeye, along with other relatives and associates, of being responsible for the situation.

“King Sunny Ade has been kidnapped. The manager, Dayo, and his family—his mother, brothers Demola and Kenny, and the driver Ade—are involved,” she stated.

She described her last phone call with her father as troubling, saying he appeared to be under pressure and possibly working unwillingly. She further claimed he was being moved from one location to another and restricted from contacting family members.

Though she did not provide direct evidence to back her allegations, Damilola called on authorities to step in, investigate, and safeguard the legendary musician.

In response, Dayo Adegeye has strongly denied the accusations. He assured the public that King Sunny Ade is in good health and not in any danger, labeling the claims as an attempt to mislead the public and damage reputations.

“There’s absolutely no truth to these claims. Baba is fine and continuing his work as usual,” Dayo said in a statement to Naija News.

The incident has triggered a wave of concern from fans and observers, with many calling for transparency and a prompt investigation.

As of now, King Sunny Ade has not issued any public statement, and the police or other authorities have yet to release an official update. The situation remains unclear as Nigerians await confirmation about the veteran musician’s safety.
