The daughter of juju musician King Sunny Ade, Damilola Adeniyi Adegeye, has accused her stepbrother Dayo of kidnapping him.
Damilola claimed in a string of photos on her Instagram account that Dayo, whom she called his manager, “kidnapped” the 78-year-old musician with the assistance of his mother, brothers, and driver.
The abduction of King Sunny Ade has occurred. She wrote, “Dayo, the manager, his mother, his brothers, Demola and Kenny, and his driver, Ade, are all guilty.
Damilola asserted in a different tweet that nobody knows Sunny Ade’s precise location.

Dayo was also accused of hiding information and “misleading the family” by saying that everyone is aware of his whereabouts.
“….This has shown me who they are, and these are the ones that my dad is around. But no one knows his whereabouts in the family and everyone is looking for him, yet these guys are not telling us where he is but say everyone knows,” she added.
“Hmmm, very funny. Come read this with me. Real stuff is coming out now!”
Damilola, who is based in the United Kingdom, also claimed that the manager is making Sunny Ade “work under duress”.
She argued that despite the singer’s continued work, the “family is not seeing the financial benefits,” and urged Dayo to “allow him rest”.
Damilola also called on the Nigerian police for help and pleaded with the public not to book the singer for any event at the moment.
“King Sunny Ade, my dad, has been kidnapped and is working under duress. Emergency!” she wrote.
“Bro D, stop booking the shows and let him rest, so he can take care of his family. He keeps working, but the family is not seeing the money!
“I need the Nigerian police. My dad, King Sunny Ade, has been kidnapped.
“Please don’t book him now. He is working under duress!”
