According to Nollywood actor Yomi Fabiyi, Veteran actor Baba Suwe who was arrested years ago and tortured by the NDLEA after her was of ingesting cocaine is seriously sick!
Yomi Fabiyi’s statement 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.
“He told me when I visited him
that he is innocent of the accusations and yet a long pipe was inserted
through his anus; he was detained for too long amongst other things
just because he was randomly suspected like every normal person.“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.“The court asked NDLEA to pay
him 25 million for damages which is yet to be obeyed but to me an open
apology will placate him and illustrate some dignified and civil
approach from a government agency that made him go through all that
without coming up with a single proof after that prolonged detention and
drama.
”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.
”No malice is intended against
NDLEA with this outcry, I just hope the leadership see this as a clarion
call for getting it right and save the agency from sending an innocent
person to an early grave whereby leaving his children to suffer
unjustly. My humble take”. Thank you. Yomi Fabiyi
