Exclusive! Why Baba Suwe Never Excreted Any Cocaine

Independent investigations carried out on the arrest of comic actor, Baba Suwe (real name Babatunde Omidina), and his long detention by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), has revealed that some persons somewhere tried very hard to cover up some sensitive part of the story from Nigerians.

But while these set of people are in a desperate bid to cover up their shortcomings,...

Baba Suwe himself did not helping matters on another hand. Members of the Association of Nigeria Theatre Arts Practitioners, ANTAP, were also economical with the truth to some extent. Even the government people – NDLEA – sure have a lot to clarify on their part. What is obvious in all these is that there's more to the Cocaine saga than many Nigerians are aware of.

Before I give you the real gist, let me do a brief recap on how it all began: On the evening of Wednesday, October 12, 2011, Baba Suwe arrived the international wing of the Lagos Airport to board a flight to Paris where he was billed to anchor a social event. While preparations were on for the 10pm scheduled flight, the NDLEA scanner at the airport gave out signs indicating that the comic actor has suspicious substances in his stomach. He was immediately taken into custody and placed under ‘indefinite’ observation.

Back to the present: Findings at the Lagos Airport Command of the NDLEA revealed that the guys on duty on the evening of Baba Suwe’s arrest didn’t do a thorough job on the man. Rather than take their time to do some ‘re-check’ on the scanner’s signal, according to sources, the guys on duty were in a hurry to score a ‘cheap point’ and show Nigerians that they have caught “another big fish”.

Little wonder the matter was hurriedly liked out to the press even before the actor was, according to an inside source, subjected to proper interrogation. Those who arrested him on drugs charges had thought that "he would deliver the babies" in less than 24 hours and everybody would have applauded them for a job well done. Unfortunately for them, that didn’t happen.

So, in a bid to keep Nigerians in the dark on the 'true story' - and possibly cover up for “those who screwed up” - some of the Agency’s top men are said to be devising different tactics to get out of the mess since there was no trace of Cocaine in the actors excreta.

In fact, according to inside sources, there is a wide believe within the Agency that Baba Suwe may have been wrongfully arrested. While the spokesperson and other top executive of the NDLEA have been promoting the idea that the comic actor only eats ones in three days in other to delay excretion, the true position - according to Baba Suwe himself - is that he eats at least three times daily and excreted over FIFTEEN TIMES without any trace of Cocaine.

But an impeccable source say the NDLEA still feels something was in the actor's stomach that refused to come out because Baba Suwe did not categorically tell some of his visitors (especially members of ANTAP) if there was drugs in his stomach or not. All he kept saying throughout his stay in custody, according to the source, is that no matter how long they keep him he will never excrete any Cocaine. It was such statement that made some officials of the Agency to allege that he is using some kind of African Magic (Juju) to stall the substance from coming out.

After all said, if Baba Suwe did not excrete any Cocaine as at November 4, 2011, which the court had granted the NDLEA to keep him. Consequently, he was released to go home.
