An Abuja court has granted the NDLEA an extension to keep popular comedian Babatunde Omidina aka Baba Suwe for fifteen days.
The decision come after the NDLEA operatives claimed news scan have revealed that there is still more drugs in Baba Suwe’s body.
The NDLEA arrested Omidina while he was about to board a plane to Paris at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport in Lagos, he was arrested and placed under “observation” after a scanning device indicated that he had ingested substances suspected to be hard drugs.
The comedian has since remained under close observation at the NDLEA detention center. The NDLEA said they kept him to until he excretesthe narcotic drugs from his system.
This has drawn public scrutiny against the NDLEA and some havecriticised them of picking on the actor because of his celebrity. Yesterday a Lagos –based attorney filed a N1 billion lawsuitagainst the NDLEA over Mr. Omidina’s detention.
Agency officials had claimed that they were waiting to check Baba Suwe stool and examine it further before further action can be taken.
Earlier, NDLEA spokesperson, Mitchel ofoyeju told SaharaReporters they had just confidence due to results from recent scans conducted on the comedian.
