Yomi Fabiyi further challenges NDLEA on Baba Suwe.
Recently, Actor Yomi Fabiyi drew the world’s attention to Veteran Actor Baba Suwe ’sHealth Troubles After Ordeal with NDLEA.
The actor and film maker is not relenting on his quest to see that Baba Suwe gets the deserved treatment and vindication, having claimed the veteran actor’s ill health was a result of the ill treatment (Torture, in his words) he got from the hands of officials of the NDLEA five years ago.’
Although there were reports claiming Baba Suwe did not back Yomi up on his claims, a recent phone conversation between the two where Baba Suwe admitted to being ill has gone viral bringing a new phase to the whole story.
Yomi Fabiyi has once again taken to social media to call out NDLEA.
Duty of care should be our individual and collective national value. I must commend colleagues and Nigerians, thank you for lending your voice, we need it more.
In all honesty, Baba Suwe is critically ill and on no account did I ever demand DONATIONS from the public, please, WE ARE NOT BEGGING FOR DONATIONS. Some mischevious people in the industry or so made him distance himself from me before the honest ones could get him to articulate what I did. More so I am not raised to feast on other people’s predicament for self adulation or material gains. Forgiveness is the greatest weapon and trust me, I won’t allow that little twist deter my concern and care for my colleagues.
I must thank Yinka Quadri, Gbenga Adewusi, Monsuru Obadina(Fala), Kehinde Adeyemi and so on for their support in this regards. However, without going into exact details, I insist that the treatment and torture done on Baba Suwe during his detention is having adverse effect on his health now. I find NDLEA’s reaction honoring but just a professional response.
NDLEA knew what they did to Baba Suwe when they took him to a laboratory on the Island in the middle of the night after the presiding judge threatened to free Baba Suwe if they can’t present a single proof against Baba Suwe in the next hearing. There are other terrible stuffs but I will let the lawyers do the rest.
We will continue to demand JUSTICE for Baba Suwe and we are looking to explore the maximum judicial and civil means until justice is served.
The onus is still on NDLEA to do tender a public apology, Baba Suwe’s image has been too battered. He still suffers the physical, emotional and psychological trauma. People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
I have utmost respect for the idea that established NDLEA and will never oppose diligent operations under the ambit of the law but what I will never support is injustice, torture and abuse of human right in the name of public service.
I am challenging NDLEA to the court of conscience before we find all necessary means to return to the Supreme Court.

I’m a hardworking businesswoman, more than just Wizkid’s baby mama, says Jada P
American talent manager Jada Pollock, popularly known as Jada P, has asserted that she is far more than just singer Wizkid’s “babymama,” a title often used by the media.
Speaking in a recent interview with BET UK, Jada P lamented that her accomplishments as an entrepreneur and professional in the music industry have been largely overshadowed by her role as the mother of Wizkid’s children.
Jada P highlighted her career achievements, noting that she has managed international artists such as Chris Brown, Wizkid, and Skyla Tyla.
She described herself as a dedicated businesswoman and music manager actively contributing to the growth of the industry.
“When Wizkid won a Grammy, I wrote a statement about how far afrobeat has come. They put the statement out, and the caption was ‘Wizkid baby mama.’ The narrative is not seen as you’re an entrepreneur and hardworking businesswoman. I’m not only a mother but also a manager, who has actively contributed to building a legacy,” she said.
She further emphasised her role in managing top-tier artists, adding, “Some of the artists I have managed are Chris Brown, Wizkid & Skyla Tyla, etc.”

Eucharia Anunobi, the ace Nigerian actress, has advised her fans to stop seeking validation from people.
In an Instagram post on Friday, the actress urged her followers to embrace self-worth and resist the pressure of wanting to be liked by everyone.
She cautioned that the constant need for approval often leads to “emotional and spiritual imbalance”.
“Seeking to be liked by all is a sign that you are emotionally and spiritually imbalanced. Some people will hate you because to hate is what gives them joy because they are genetically wicked. So get used to not being liked. 1 John 5:19,” she wrote.
