Babatunde Omidina popularly known as Baba Suwe, everyone favorite Yoruba
actor, is said to be unable to walk due to the torture he suffered at
the hands of NDLEA after he got arrested at Lagos Airport.
Filmmaker, Yomi Fabiyi has cried out over the the actor's health
condition, who is yet to receive his N25 million compensation which the
National Drug body was suppose to pay him. According to YOMI;
ON BABA SUWE: I am calling on all SENIOR COLLEAGUES in the entertainment
world especially those close to Baba Suwe cos I don't have everyone's
contact to please reachout to him asap. The torture done on him by NDLEA
is vastly damaging his health at an alarming rate. He told me he no
longer feel comfortable since that episode. Baba Suwe is a widower, he
can hardly walk properly as I speak, let alone go to film. How will he
feed and take care of the children aunty Moladun left behind?
This is an A-List Entertainer and this conspiracy of silence gives me
MENTAL AGONY on my part, I don't want to speak when it may be too late, I
won't forgive myself. He told me when I visited him that he is innocent
of the accusations and yet a LONG PIPE was inserted through his anus,
he was detained for too long amongst other things just because he was
randomly suspected like every normal person. In my opinion, only lazy,
ill-trained, unfit and uncivilised officers torture in the name of
investigation. Torture is criminal and sinful. If this accusation is
found to be true by independent investigators, it shouldn't go
unpunished.
The court asked NDLEA to pay him 25million for damages which is yet to
be obeyed but to me an OPEN APOLOGY will placate him and illustrate some
dignified and civil approach from a government agency that made him go
through all that without coming up with a single proof after that
prolonged detention and drama. He who assert MUST prove! NDLEA needs to
restore public confidence by doing the needful on this matter. And until
individuals and government agency begin to respect fundamental HUMAN
RIGHT and enhance duty of care, the essence of Nigeria's FREEDOM is far
from been realistic.
No malice is intended against NDLEA with this outcry, I just hope the
leadership see this as a clarion call for getting it right and save the
agency from sending an innocent person to an early grave whereby leaving
his children to suffer unjustly. My humble take. Thank you. Yomi Fabiyi
