Bolaji Amusan, alias Mr Latin,
has debunked information circulating about Babatunde Omidina, better known as
Baba Suwe.
The Nigerian actor and renowned
comedian has been ill for some weeks.
On Tuesday, Latin, who is the
president of the Theater Arts and Motion Picture Producers Association of
Nigeria (TAMPAN), said Baba Suwe is not dead as was being speculated.
In a video he posted on his
Instagram account, Latin said: ”The purported rumor about Baba Suwe dead is
fake.
”Baba Suwe is presently in
America for treatment. He is hale, alive, healthy. I thank you all for your
concern.”
On Sunday, fellow actor, Yomi Fabiyi announced Baba Suwe’s trip. Fabiyi also disclosed that he was accompanied by his son, Sola Omidina.
He said: “Happy Easter to you
all. Of course, before this season of love, enormous and rare love is being
shown to the veteran actor and comedian Alh. Babatunde Omidina.
”With your help and love, Baba
Suwe travelled out in company of his son Sola Omidina to the United States of
America yesternight 20th April, 2019 to complete his medical treatment.
”I must add that the Federal
Ministry of Health through the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) were
able to stabilize him in order to make the long haul with little or no acute
discomfort.
”On behalf of Baba Suwe’s family,
his colleagues, friends, TAMPAN movie association worldwide, I humbly register
an undiluted appreciation to each and everyone for this wonderful show of love.
Thank you once again to our dear mother, Rev. Mrs Esther Abimbola Ajayi for
footing the air tickets.
”Depending on the treatment and
prospective out-patient appointments, Baba Suwe should be return to the screen
hale and hearty before the last quarter of the year. He will be treated in a
hospital in Rhode Island, USA.”
The 60-year-old actor, who is not
feeling too well, had in February solicited for financial support to enable him
travel abroad for medical attention.
In a radio interview with Kola
Olootu on Lagelu FM, the actor said he had not received his N25 million
compensation from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
In 2011, he was arrested by NDLEA
at Murtala Mohammed International Airport over the suspicion that he was
trafficking drugs.
Baba Suwe was detained for three
weeks and was granted bail after no drugs were found on him.
