Baba Bankrupt After Cocaine Scandal, Says Everyone's Deserted Him
Category: Entertainment News
Comic Yoruba actor, Alhaji Nurudeen Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, told reporters he is going through hard times after being arrested by NDLEA wrongfully for trafficking cocaine.
In a recent interview, Baba Suwe said “I have not
collected any compensation money from NDLEA yet. The most painful thing
is that I was wrongly accused. Had it been, I actually committed the
crime, I won’t mind, but they just punished me for nothing. I was in
NDLEA custody for almost three weeks, and nothing was found on me. No
matter the kind of juju one may have, I don’t think there is anybody
that can conceal cocaine for even two days.
"Even
researches had shown that no one can harbor the substance in the body
for two days. It will burst inside the person’s stomach, which can lead
to death. And I believe after all their investigations, they should have
released me so I could continue with my career. But the whole
situation, the way they treated me actually rubbished my image. My
career has been dwindling. A lot of people that are supposed to be
inviting me to take part in their movies abandoned me because of the
incident.
"Even a lot of people that could have
assisted me financially don’t want to associate with me again. People
within and outside the industry have deserted me on account of the
allegation. They still doubt me despite my victory in court.
"I
have sung praises of some people in some of my movies, and I always
appreciate whatever they give me. This makes a lot of people close to
me. 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, it’s very
difficult for me to be close to him . He is even not comfortable seeing
me around him again because of the allegation. I don’t enjoy people’s
love and admiration like before because people still believe that it was
true," he lamented.
