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
