Why we’re still holding Baba Suwe – NDLEA
On October 17, 2011 · In News

LAGOS – National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, yesterday, explained why it is still holding on to popular actor and comedian, Mr. Babatunde Omidina, alias Baba Suwe, who was arrested last Wednesday night for alleged drug trafficking.
The comedian was alleged to have ingested wraps of cocaine in his system which the scanner employed by the anti-drug agency was said to have picked up but the suspect has emptied his bowels twice without any trace of the drug.
Spokesman of the agency, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, however, insisted that Omidina would not have been picked up if the scanner had not revealed that he had the drug in his system.
He said: “Baba Suwe is still in our custody and under observation. Since he was arrested Wednesday, he has excreted twice. First, he excreted on Friday and we did not find any drug and on Saturday he excreted again, still we did not find any drug.
”But, it is normal because we would not have arrested him if the scanner did not show that he has something in his system. We have had people who stayed longer before they started excreting; so, we are still observing him. It is just that we are now doing our investigation on this particular suspect on the pages of newspapers.”
After his arrest last Wednesday, Airport Commander of NDLEA, Alhaji Hamza Umar, was quoted as saying that, “Mr. Omidina Babatunde was in safe custody.
Preliminary findings have shown that the actor was to act as compere for the naming ceremony of his friend’s daughter in Paris. He was arrested because there is reasonable ground for suspicion and the actor is currently under observation.” | | | | |

Ace Actor and comedian, Omidina Babatunde a.k.a Baba Suwe now in the custody of the National Drug Law and Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, over alleged possession of cocaine was said to have made his first self excretion but no drug was found in it.
Disclosing this development to Saturday Vanguard, the Head of Public Affairs, NDLEA, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju however said Suwe was still under close observation by the agency to know what actually went wrong.
Baba Suwe was nabbed aboard an Air France aircraft to Paris at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, MMIA, Ikeja Lagos at about 10pm on Wednesday when he allegedly tested positive to drug ingestion and had been placed under observation since then.
Earlier yesterday, the NDLEA had expressed concern that Suwe who was on his way to attend the naming ceremony of his close friend in Paris had not been able to excrete despite the fact that he was ‘’eating very well and co-operating with narcotic investigators.’’ ‘
’There is reasonable ground for suspicion and the actor is currently under observation. He is fine and had been eating but has not excreted.
‘’We have invited our doctor to examine him. This is crucial to ascertain the true position.
Further up-date on the matter shall be made known to the general public. “.the Agency told Saturday Vanguard, shortly before he ecreted.
NDLEA’s Airport Commander, Alhaji Hamza Umar also confirmed that Suwe was in safe custody even as it was learnt that he was to the act as a compere during the naming ceremony which he missed as a result of his arrest.
