Actor Yomi Fabiyi has raised the alarm over the health of veteran Yoruba actor, Baba Suwe, urging Nigerians to remember him in their prayers.
He said the veteran actor is still traumatised over the the Nigerian Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) incident where he was detained after he was accused of injecting drugs
A statement he circulated yesterday reads: “I am calling on all senior colleagues in the entertainment world especially those close to Baba Suwe because I don’t have everyone’s contact to please reach out to him as soon as possible.
”The torture done on him by NDLEA is vastly damaging his health at an alarming rate. He told me he no longer feel comfortable since that episode. Baba Suwe is a widower, he can hardly walk properly as I speak, let alone go to film.
”How will he feed and take care of the children aunty Moladun left behind? This is an A-List Entertainer and this conspiracy of silence gives me mental agony on my part, I don’t want to speak when it may be too late, I won’t forgive myself.
”In my opinion, only lazy, ill-trained, unfit and uncivilized officers torture in the name of investigation. Torture is criminal and sinful. If this accusation is found to be true by independent investigators, it shouldn’t go unpunished.
”He who assert must prove! NDLEA needs to restore public confidence by doing the needful on this matter. And until individuals and government agency begin to respect fundamental human right and enhance duty of care, the essence of Nigeria’s freedom is far from been realistic.
