Baba Suwe has spoken out regarding the money owed to him by the N25m that should have been paid to him by the NDLEA. The Nollywood Yoruba actor, said NDLEA is yet to pay him the N25Million compensation.
It should be remembered that 2 years ago, a Lagos High Court Judge, Justice Yetunde Idowu ordered the NDLEA to pay the sum of N25m to Babatunde Omidina, Popularly known as, Baba Suwe for illegally keeping him in detention over suspicion of hard drug ingestion.
Not satisfied with the verdict, the agency appealed against it at the Lagos Court of Appeal. The appellate court set aside the judgment on the pretext that the money awarded to the actor by the lower court was excessive.
Asked if the matter has been finally sorted out or if he is still interested in pressing charges against the anti-drug agency, Baba Suwe says, “I have decided to leave the matter in the hands of God. Only God can judge between me and the agency.”
He notes that since the death of his lawyer, he has not been not been paid a kobo from the money awarded to him.
