2face Idibia suffers third violent attack in 3 years
 2face Idibia whose real name is Innocent Ujah Idibia was reportedly shot by unknown assailants on Thursday past in Nigeria. The 32 year old hit maker whose famous single, "African Queen" has taken the world by storm, was taken to hospital in Lagos where he is now recovering.
According to eyewitness reports, the incident occurred while 2face Idibia was en route to his FESTAC Town, Lagos home from the Murtala Mohammed International Airport. Around 3 gunmen approached the Honda vehicle the singer was in and ordered the occupants to open the doors. The witness reportedly said that it was while opening the car door that 2face Idibia was shot. This was his first time back home since winning the MOBO award on September 19.
A laptop computer that rested on his lap, minimized the impact of the bullet, and the singer bravely yelled for all other passengers in the vehicle to "Run run!" The driver of the Honda told of Idibia's bravery and also of his own injury of a gunshot to the arm.
Passers-by intervened and helped the wounded to the hospital in a van. They got to Cedar Hospital from the airport expressway, where Idibia was operated on at 7am the following morning. His condition has been confirmed as not being critical
Dr. Emeka Onourah said in a report, "He's responding to treatment. He has 22 pellets in his thigh, because it was a local gun. But we've been able to handle the situation. We've stopped the bleeding too. What remains is to make sure there’s no infection, and we create a way for the pellets to expel themselves." The doctor also refuted rumors about the singer being flown abroad for treatment.
On Friday Idibia was slated to perform in Ghana for a concert, but his doctors say he will be unable to perform anywhere for at least another 2 weeks. The singer, who was also viciously attacked by robbers in January 2005 as well as in December 2006, is reportedly doing well.

These gunmen should feel so ashamed...all that people know bout' Nigeria is crime n violence, and those bloodsuckers confirm everything with attacking
a great son of their nation. Who knows, if they would have asked for something valuable without shooting, the singer would have given something. Bom***t, the devil is strong but JAH will seek us through! Bless up, 2Face!

the most high Gd lv ya 2baba!"your best frnd cld b ur worst enemy"says ur ancestor "BOB NESTER MARLY"and may b cos he learnt d hard way like u should.U kno in life mans gre8xt enmy springs 4rm kinsmen.Aikman's sch of thought clasified kinsmen in 2:Biological knsmn&Proffessional knsmn.By my xtrasensory perception ur enmies re 4rm d later not d former.Even during ur survival ceremony i saw guys who knows d politics of pretence. U KNO Y?Is a simple logic that any of ur close pals who turns economical with his appearance in d ceremony has made himself a prime suspect thats y everyone came and manage a smile hearing u being called a superstar aqgainst his own rating.Anyway it wasnt by chance that Gd gave u guys music neither was it by chance d most high gave 2baba a better music.GOD LV YA!But BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry oh, be reassure that your life is in the hands of God Almighty there's nothing anyone can do about it. In fact no shaken, nothing dey happen to you at all . If Nigerian don't love you, we the people of Ghana love you and we want you alive to accomplish your density in this sinful world. You will only die when God says so but not by the power of human beings, they can't create life. God will surely protect you for us. Come out with more music man.
See,no matter what until God says it's time nothing will happen to his people.keep it up 2face.
