Alhaji King Babatunde Ayinla Nurudeen Olasunkanmi Omidina, a.k.a. Baba Suwe
*To produce comedian in court today
BY ALBERT AKPOR
LAGOS – Apparently bowing to court order compelling it to present detained ace comedian, Mr. Babatunde Omidina, (Baba Suwe), before it, the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, said yesterday that the suspect will be in court this morning.
The agency was, however, confident that the suspect would excrete whatever was lodged in his stomach before the expiration of the 15 days detention order granted by the court.
The narcotic agency said it was obeying the court order to dispel rumours making the round that the detained comedian had died in its custody.
Meanwhile, NDLEA said it may be forced to seek further detention order if Baba Suwe was unable to completely excrete the substance in his system, maintaining that it was convinced that what the suspect has in his stomach were hard drugs.
NDLEA’s Public Affairs Officer, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, said on phone, yesterday, that the detained comedian was in good health, adding however, that he was yet to excrete any drug.
He said: “We will bring him to court tomorrow (today) at least, to respect that court order. But that is not to say that we will release him. Some people have been calling to say that Baba Suwe is dead.
I laughed because the man is in good health. The fact is that he has not excreted any drug yet, but we are still observing him. But, he will be in court as directed by court. Note that, that does not mean that we will release him, no.”
