Popular actor, Bababtunde Omidina aka Baba Suwe in an interview maintained his innocence about the ‘drug pusher’ allegation leveled against him. He’s still demanding for an apology from the NDLEA (National Drug Law Enforcement Agency), to help salvage his reputation. In his own words: “It is a long story. What they did tarnished my image. It really hurt me. Theatre is the only way I make money and when my films hit Idumota, it makes the most sales in the industry. I make money from my rental business and as a master of ceremony within and outside Nigeria. The incident affected all that.
Going further, he said: “They maltreated me for the 19 days that I was there. I slept on metal chairs. I was taken to another hospital again and yet, nothing was found. At this stage, my son had got a lawyer for me. The lawyer, in confidence, asked me if I was dealing in drug for real so as to know how to run their case and I told him that I was doing no such thing. I told him I had travelled to many developed countries with sophisticated and automated airports and I had never had any case with them.
