The arrest of Nollywood comic actor, Babatunde Omidina over hard drug is the latest gist in town at the moment. The widower who was arrested on his way to Paris a fortnight ago, we scooped, has excreted over 16 pellets of cocaine last night.

A source in the anti-drug agency said that the controversial drug peddler cum Yoruba actor has already excreted some of the drugs he ingested while a large quantity is still lodged in his abdomen.

Another reliable source said the suspect has been given a cup of tea to drink that will enable him excrete the remaining drugs while he has been placed on observation.

If you recall, this same offence was committed by Baba Suwe about two years now but he had his way out of the situation and called it 'mere rumour' but it's so obvious now that what he tagged as rumour then is now a reality.

Baba Suwe, we learnt, has been crying like a baby and pleading for forgiveness but all his pleas are to no avail. While serious investigation is going on to know how he came about it, some top marketers are alleged to be busy inducing officials of NDLEA with huge bribe to get him out of the dragnet. We gathered.

We shall keep you posted as event unfolds.

That is the latest gist

ews reaching us that the legal luminary to the detained Nollywood actor and drug peddler, Babatunde Omidina is said to have confessed to the agents of NDLEA that his client mistakenly swallowed the substance. Well, I think the NBA too should mistakenly revolt the lawyer's license.

Our source alleged that Baba Suwe has promised to corporate and help the anti-drug agency in their investigation to nab those behind the illicit deal that led to his arrest.

Information emanating from another source says there is a secret move by a powerful politician in Lagos to get Baba Suwe out of the disgrace he brought upon himself.
We are waiting and as soon as there are more updates, we'll keep you posted.

So sad I thought he was better then that, I guess I have been proven wrong

Like in the dying minutes of a tension soaked football match, Nigerians are holding their breath as the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, waits for Nollywood comic Actor, Baba Suwe, to stool, 48 hours after he was arrested on suspicions that he concealed hard drugs in his stomach.


•Baba Suwe
The NDLEA Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, told P.M.NEWS this morning that the 53-year old popular comedian who is still in their custody was yet to defecate since he was arrested on Wednesday night at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.

According to standard procedure, the Nollywood actor whose real name is Babatunde Ayinla Nurudeen Olasunkanmi Omidina must defecate and the waste analysed by the operatives. He will then be freed or charged to court for drug trafficking.

The NDLEA airport commander, Hamza Umar said this morning that “there is reasonable ground for suspicion and the actor is currently under observation. He is fine and had been eating but has not excreted.”

He added that the suspect will remain under observation and the NDLEA doctor has been called upon to examine him. He said further update will be made as events unforld, Hamza said.

The suspect was detained by NDLEA officials after the United States-donated scanner at the Lagos airport detected substances suspected to be hard drugs in his stomach.

According to NDLEA sources, he was on his way to Paris, the French capital to act as a master of ceremony in a naming event of the child of an Air France staff scheduled for tomorrow.

He was on his way to board an Air France flight when he was suspected by anti-narcotics agents, taken to the scanning room and detained.

His passport was seized and the flight was allowed to go without him. The Air France staff (name withheld) was also arrested.

At the time of writing this report, Baba Suwe was still under observation at the NDLEA airport office in Lagos.

Sources said Baba Suwe has denied that he swallowed hard drugs and the truth will only be known after he defecates today or whenever.

Meanwhile, following the arrest of Baba Suwe by NDLEA, his colleagues have expressed shock over drug scandal.

They wondered why an actor of his stature could be involved in drug trafficking.

Former President of Association of Nigerian Theatre Art Practitioners, Prince Jide Kosoko was full of anger when he spoke to P.M.NEWS.

He said: “Are you sure it is true? If it is, it is madness. It is madness I repeat. I can hardly believe the story. What else does he want in life? This is madness, complete madness I say.”

Sunday Omobolanle aka Papy Luwe who called to confirm the report said he was shocked.

“But I can’t believe that what I am hearing is true. A friend who is in London spoke with me on phone and said that he saw the story in the on-line edition of P.M.NEWS. Sorry I will speak with you later.”

Barrister Tunji Bamishigbin, an actor and a Lawyer, told P.M.NEWS that if it is true that Baba Suwe is involved in drug peddling, then he does not deserve the position and respect the Nigerian society has accorded him.

“It is also a big shame and it is very disappointing because the society sees us as the mirror through which they watch themselves and if we are found where we are not supposed to be, it is very shameful.”

Star Actress, Remi Oshodi aka Surutu expressed disappointment with Omidina’s shameful act.

“because whoever is not satisfied with whatever he or she has will end up where he is not supposed to be. We are the mirror through which the society mirrors itself and as parents we should live by example. It is a big disgrace to us all,” she said.

A young actor Femi Brainard also condemned the shameful act of the star actor, saying “this shameful act must be stopped because Wunmi was the first victim, and because she was pardoned does not mean that Baba Suwe will go scot free. What he has done is a slap on us and the entire movie industry. This time around he must be made to face the music.”

According to Hon Rotimi Makinde, a member of the House of Representatives, “it is a rude shock. “It’s indeed a disgrace to many of us and the industry I so cherish. I reserve further comments for now until I get details.” He spoke through his media aide, Sanya Ojo.

The incident has generated a huge backlash against the comedian, with some saying it is a comedy of errors.
