King Sunny Ade reacts to report of his kidnap

Veteran Juju artiste Sunday Adegeye, popularly known as King Sunny Ade, has released a short video to dismiss the claim that he is missing.

The musician’s daughter, Damilola Adeniyi, had recently raised concerns over the whereabouts and well-being of her father, expressing fears that he may have been kidnapped.

In a series of posts on her Instagram page, Damilola alleged that the musician may be under undue influence, insinuating that her father’s manager may be responsible for his disappearance.

However, King Sunny Ade has, in a video posted on social media, dismissed his daughter’s claim, saying his children thought he was kidnapped because they didn’t see him around when he went on a holiday.

In the video, the 78-year-old musician thanked his fans for their support, stressing that no one kidnapped him.
