Alhaji Babatunde Nurudeen Omidina, otherwise known as ‘Baba Suwe’ has cried out to anyone who cares to listen that he has been deserted by friends and fans following his infamous ‘cocaine’ case with the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
In a recent interview, the comic actor also confessed facing hard time financially as a result of the protracted saga.
“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 wouldn'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 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. 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.
