The arrest of the entertainer, who is fondly called Baba Suwe by many
people, and has also spent over five decades on planet earth, was based
on an alleged ingestion of substances suspected to be hard drug.
His
alleged drug case drew international media attentions, after he was in
the custody of the drug agency for over 24 days without any drug found
on him. With over three excretions, he was still not charged to court
for any offence.
It took the court to order his eventual release from the NDLEA on
November 4, 2011, after his lawyer, Bamidele Aturu filed a court motion
for a violation of his human rights by NDLEA.
The court also ordered that NDLEA to pay the sum of 25million naira to
the actor, who has spent almost 30 years in the acting career .
recently was TV show monitored by NigeriaFilms.Com, this Lagos State
born veteran actor made it known that the NDLEA has still not obeyed the
court order by paying him his compensation of 25million naira.
In his words, “I have not received any money from the government.”
Speaking on his worst moment in life, Baba Suwe said, “My worst
moment in life was the drug case I was alleged of [ingesting cocaine] by
the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
“I was alleged of a case I knew nothing of. It was a sorrowful
experience that the world knew about. It is natural for people to talk
about you. To those who never liked you; they would believe you do drugs
to earn a living. In all, I give thanks to God everything,” he
recounted.
On whether he would do a movie based on his experience with NDLEA,
Baba Suwe had this to tell the world, “I must do a movie on my alleged
drug saga. As long as I live and breathe on this earth, I must put it in
a film for people to watch and learn from.”
This statement by Baba Suwe would come to his numerous faithful fans,
who had wanted to know if he would release a movie on his NDLEA saga,
just as fellow actor, Yetunde Wunmi, did after her drug ordeal with the
same agency.
