Alhaji Nurudeen Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, has
confessed facing hard times at the moment. In a recent interview
with Encomium, the comic Yoruba Actor said “I have not collected any
compensation money from NAFDAC yet. The most painful thing is that I was
wrongly accused.
”Had it
been, I actually committed the crime, I won’t mind, but they just punished me
for nothing. I was in NDLEA custody for almost three weeks, and nothing was
found on me. No matter the kind of juju one may have, I don’t think there is
anybody that can conceal cocaine for even two days.
”Even
researches had shown that no one can harbor the substance in the body for two
days. It will burst inside the person’s stomach, which can lead to death. And I
believe after all their investigations, they should have released me so I could
continue with my career. But the whole situation, the way they treated me
actually rubbished my image. My career has been dwindling. A lot of people that
are suppose to be inviting me to take part in their movies abandoned me because
of the incident.
Even a lot
of people that could have assisted me financially don’t want to associate with
me again. People within and outside the industry have deserted me on account of
the allegation. They still doubt me despite my victory in court.
I have
sung praises of some people in some of my movies, and I always appreciate
whatever they give me. This makes a lot of people close to me. For instance, I
was close to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu before and he was very nice to me.
He had
done a lot for me but now, it’s very difficult for me to be close to him . He
is even not comfortable seeing me around him again because of the allegation. I
don’t enjoy people’s love and admiration like before because people still
believe that it was true.“ he lamented
