Popular Nollywood comedian and actor, Babatunde Omidina also known as Baba Suwe on Sunday narrated his experience to journalists in Lagos after his 24 day detention in the custody of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency [NDLEA].
Baba Suwe who declined to say much but spoke mostly through his lawyer, Mr Bamidele Aturu, said his arrest was a set-up, explaining that he was arrested even before he was taken to the scanner machine for a test.
He also claims he was subjected to highly demeaning treatments by the NDLEA officials.
When asked how many times he had excreted before his release, Omidina said he had excreted "more than 15 times".
He went on to explain that while he was waiting in line at the airport, a certain woman walked up to him and asked him to go to the officers of the NDLEA before he even underwent any tests or scan.
When asked if he had ever been apprehended for any crime outside Nigeria, Baba Suwe responded "you can check my passport, I haven't spent more than one month and two weeks abroad".
His Lawyer, Mr Aturu told newsmen that the NDLEA has no case against him, and they even returned all his personal belongings on his release, but his legal team is still heading back to court to sue the agency for the dehumanising experience Baba Suwe had while in custody of the NDLEA.
