NOLLYWOOD Actor, Omidina Babatunde a.k.a Baba Suwe, who has been in detention since his arrest three weeks ago by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) was yesterday granted bail by
an Ikeja High Court judge, Justice Yetunde Idowu.
Meanwhile, lawyer to Baba Suwe, Barrister Bamidele Aturu, speaking with Saturday Vanguard, said that his client’s fundamental right will be fought to a logical conclusion, despite NDLEA alleged intent to apologise to Baba Suwe if he fails to excrete the alleged hard drug he ingested.
In his words: “They would do more than apologise. Heads must roll in the organisation. They better start to look for other jobs. It is as simple as that.
“This is the 24th day that my client has been in their detention. They have been conducting all sorts of tests on him and found nothing. It is also noteworthy that my client did not eat on Tuesday night, apparently they were preparing him for the test,” Aturu told the court yesterday.
Aturu, vowed to drag the NDLEA to court for damages against the ace comedian, even as he called for an audit into the activities and operations of the NDLEA to ascertain how the agency treats suspects under its custody.
According to Aturu, the NDLEA has shown utter disrespect and contempt for the laws of this country by detaining Baba Suwe without evidence, meaning that they do not believe in the rule of law.
