Reacting to the post…
@TheKayodeBadmus said: “This is not a good one, absolutely not a good news. There has been growing concern about King Sunny Ade and his whereabouts. Some of his children have raised an alarm that he is being held captive by his management who are forcing him to sign up for events that he has not been honouring.
At the moment, his children who are raising this concern claim they do not know where he is and have been unable to reach him but his management claim otherwise.
However, the 78 year old King of music who has been performing for more than 60 years hasn’t been publicly seen in a while.
The children are now calling on the authorities to investigate and help find their father.”
