Mrs. Rose Idibia, the mother of famous singer, Innocent
Idibia better known as 2face narrowly escaped death on Thursday night after she was attacked by her late
husband’s kinsmen at the Amafu community in Okpokwu LGA of Benue State.
The family members are angry with her for allegedly stopping from from building them the family house he
promised.
According to The Daily Post, the problem started shortly after her late husband died and the family invited
the four children to inform them on what to do.
For his quota, 2face was instructed to build a befitting house where his father and also ‘grade’ the road
leading to Amufu, their home town from Ojapo for easy access during the burial – and he promised to fulfil
the obligations.
As a matter of fact, he sent in some money and kicked off the building project and the upgrading of the
road immediately, however, along the line, the projects hit menopause and family members were left in the
dark on what led to the sudden stoppage.
“When we contacted 2face, he told us he no longer had money to further the project that he would
continue after his father’s burial, but we carried out our investigation and found that it was his mum,
Rose that stopped him from completing the project. The mum told him not to waste his money on any
building that he would not come home anytime to stay there, saying that his uncles would only take over
the house once he completes it,” an indigene who craved anonymity told Dailypost . Thus, the people
resorted on taking the revenge on him and his mum.
As soon as the corpse touched down in Amufu and the widow alighted, youths in the land began to jeer
her, they threw stones and sticks at her calling her all sort of names and saying that she is wicked –
some mockingly called her ‘Obu Michael’ (Michael’s husband).
She had to be sneaked into a room by her colleagues from Cherryfield College, Jikwoyi where she serves
as Vice Principal, Admin. When all this was happening, 2face Idibia allegedly remained in his car with two
of his kids, Isabella and Olivia.
Explaining her side of the story when the father in charge of Mt. St. Camel Catholic Church, Ojapo tried
settling the case, Mrs. Idibia blasted her in-laws for being heartless.
“Is it not wickedness that you would call on someone who is mourning his father to come and start a
building project? When my husband died, they informed my son to come and build ten bed room flat. He
accepted and promised to do so, with the hope that a hug amount of money was coming his way. The
building project started almost immediately but stopped along the line because of finance. So, when they
called to complain why money was no longer coming I called Tuface and he said because of the Ebola
issue, the money he was expecting could not come that they should hold on till after the burial. But his
uncle refused that the burial would not hold until Tuface completes the house. When we finally came home
with the corpse on Thursday, they began to boo me. Some wanted to kill me by throwing stones and sticks
at me that I stopped Tuface my son from building in his village,” she explained.

Always good to build a house in the village before embarking on a house in town. His father didnt build, and Tuface hasnt built. Nnah nawa for celebrities oh.

Ebola self has been blamed.

If the truth be told
Tuface should have done all these things long time ago to avert all these insults and shame the family is facing now.

Whatever happened to charity begins at home.

His mum and siblings live in makurdi and abuja that's why she doesn't see the point of building a house in the village. He should have built the house while his dad was still alive.
