In a recent interview with Encomium mag, popular
Yoruba comic actor Baba Suwe said that he has not received any money from NDLEA
as damages and that the 'false accusation' has damaged his acting career and
most of his friends don't want to associate with him anymore...
"I have not collected any money. The most painful thing is that I was
wrongfully accused. Had it been I actually committed the crime, I wouldn't mind
but they punished me for nothing. I was in NDLEA for almost three weeks and
nothing was found on me. No matter the kind of juju one may have used, I don't
think there is anybody that can even conceal cocaine for even two days. It would
burst inside the person's stomach which may lead to death. And I believe after
all their investigations, they should have released me so that I can continue
with my career. But the whole situation, the way I was treated actually
rubbished my image. My career has been dwindling. A lot of people who are
supposed to be inviting me to take part in their movies abandoned me because of
that incident. A lot of people that could have assisted me financially dont want
to associate with me again. 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 its
very difficult for me to be close to him again. He is also even not comfortable
with me around him again because of the allegation" Baba Suwe
said
