NDLEA to detain Baba Suwe for 15 more days

According to PM News, A Nigerian Federal High Court has granted the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, permission to hold Nollywood comedian Baba Suwe, for 15 more days.

NDLEA’s request to hold on to the suspect for 15 more days was granted after they discovered what they considered more evidence. Channels Television this evening reported that Justice Okechukwu Okeke granted NDLEA’s order based on CT scan results by a consultant radiologist with the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

It was learnt that Dr. Subhash Vijayvargiya, who consults for LASUTH, conducted the CT Scan and reportedly confirmed through the results that Baba Suwe has large amounts of narcotic drugs in his body. NDLEA intelligence officer, Femi J. Osifuye, also disclosed that while on observation, Baba Suwe refused to eat claiming that he eats only once in three days.

NDLEA statement reads: “We are still investigating the case; we’ll address the press as soon as we conclude our investigation on the matter. We are not going to say anything until we conclude our investigations. Like I said before, we have never said Baba Suwe was arrested for drug, it is the media that are writing this, we never said he was arrested for drug,” Ofoyeju told newsmen.
