Moments, Baba Suwe Lost the Chance to Get N25m Compensation Court Asked NDLEA to Pay Him

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PST

On Monday, November 22, Nigerians were thrown into mourning as Babatunde Omidina, the comic Yoruba actor popularly known as Baba Suwe, passed away

Born on August 22, 1958, in Lagos, the actor was a force to reckon with in the film industry for years, starring in several movies and winning many awards.

Before his eventual death, Baba Suwe had battled with an undisclosed illness.

The NDLEA ordeal
After years of limelight and goodwill, Baba Suwe's troubles began in 2011 when he was arrested by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, Lagos, on his way to Paris, France.

He was arrested on suspicion of drug trafficking after a body scanner at the airport identified suspected drugs in his stomach.

However, after more than three weeks in detention, and 25 bowel movements, the NDLEA admitted the late actor did not excrete any drugs, BBC reported. He was eventually granted bail after no drugs were found on him.

Though the NDLEA denied it, there were allegations that Baba Suwe was tortured while in detention. In an interview with The Punch in June 2021, the late actor said he was rendered crippled due to his experience in the hands of the NDLEA.

His words:

"I have not forgotten about my issue with the NDLEA and I will never forget because I am still bearing the pains and suffering from that encounter. I am still affected by the inflictions they meted on me at that time

Speaking after Baba Suwe's death, Adebowale Omidina, the late actor's son, also said his father never recovered from his ordeal with the drug agency, according to The Cable.

Similarly, Yomi Fabiyi, one of the Nollywood actors close to Baba Suwe, laid curses on those "who inflicted and supported the pains and torture" on Baba Suwe.

"Those fellow citizens who inflicted and supported the pains, torture done on you Baba Suwe because they have the tools of public service power are cursed and will never know peace," Fabiyi said.

He added in a post on his verified Instagram page:

"Using torture or unlawful, excessive force for investigation is the purest evil and wickednes

Posted: 26 Nov 2021 04:00 AM PST

The father to Reality television star, Angel Agnes Smith has reacted to the audio tape, containing the voice notes of Angel's former co-housemate, Cross, in a conversation with a lady, where they discussed about his affair with Angel and Saskay.

It would be recalled that few days ago, an audio tape went viral on the internet, which had Cross describing his stand with his love interests, Angel and Saskay.

Cross, in the audio conversation explained that in as much as he loves both ladies, he doesn't have any intimacy with Saskay, even though he had visited her one time, during which they discussed about their positions with each other.

And for Angel, the former male Shine Ya Eye Housemate stated that he has taken Angel as the one person among her colleagues, who he gives much of his attention.

Cross added that he does visit Angel most of the time, even though they've both agreed to keep their affair private, and out of the public notice.

Cross made all this known, as a result of the rumour which has been making the rounds, alleging that he secretly visits Saskay, so as to keep the affair away from Angel.

However, Angel's dad, identified via the Instagram platform as Baron Meyagy, told Cross in a post that he doesn't owe anyone explanation as regards who he's friends or in a relationship with, because it's his life.

The man further stated that there's absolutely nothing wrong with the voice note, adding that the main issue to address is why someone's conversation has to be recorded without the person's permission.

Angel's dad wrote,

"Dear @crossda_boss You don't owe anybody any explanation as regards who you are FRIENDS with, have a relationship with or just cordial with, its your LIFE!.

"There was absolutely nothing wrong with the VN and the issue to be ADDRESSED is why someone's convo would be recorded without his/her permission? #feelingfunky."
