BABA SUWE LOSES #25M COCAINE CASE APPEAL ! May Go To Supreme Court

-

The hope of popular Yoruba actor, Babatunde Omidina better known as Baba Suwe to claim the #25 million damages awarded to him by a Magistrate Court, against the National Drugs and Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) was dashed on Friday 31st, May, 2013 when an Appeal Court sitting in Lagos struck out the Appeal by the comic actor, Baba Suwe. The anti-narcotics agency won an appeal against the ruling of Lagos High Court over a 25million naira compensation in favour of Baba Suwe at Federal Appeal Court, Igbo Osere Lagos.
The case, which has been on since 2011 and handling by Lawyer Bamidele Aturu finally hit the rock. Recall that after mart of accusing the actor wrongly by NDLEA for drug trafficking in 2011, High court gave judgement that NDLEA to compensate him with payment of N25million which has since suffered a setback. The case, which was to be heard in the court of appeal, was unable to hold then and it was adjourned till April 18 due to the court's 'busy schedule'. At the next adjourned day, the case heard and argued but not in favour of Baba Suwe.
Justice Yetunde Idowu awarded the sum of N25million to Baba Suwe after the NDLEA held the actor for more than two weeks on the suspicion of ingesting substance thought to be narcotics. The anti-narcotics agency challenged the judgement at the appeal court and this seemed to work for them as Appeal Court said NDLEA not to pay Baba Suwe a dime. This was the information we got as at the time of filing this report last week. However, information from another sources revealed that Baba Suwe may take the case to Supreme Court. Stay glue with this blog as we bring to your notice the new development of the case.

Sonorous-voiced songstress Busola Oke aka Eleyele must surely be in somber mood now as her father, Professor Akande, a retired professor of the University of Lagos is dead. The family of the singer, Eleyele, last week has been receiving condolence visits from numerous sympathizers since the retired university don breathed his last breath last Monday 14th November 2011, at the State Hospital Ado Ekiti. Late professor Akande, we gathered, had a mere sickness of which the family then rushed him down to hospital, but unfortunately for him, he lost his life on his way to the said hospital in Ado Ekiti, Ekiti State. But the unwholesome story we are hearing from Busola’s end, we gathered, that the Eleyele crooner, since demise of her father has not visited her immediate family home to commiserate with her other immediate family members, allegedly giving the impression that Busola is not showing any sign of concern about her father’s death. But in another development, it was gathered that B

A star in the making is right now hugging the Nigerian entertainment industry, in the person of multi-talented actor, Rilwan Adisa Ologolo otherwise known as Benzemaa.   He is the first Child of his mum and only child of his Father who died many years ago, particularly when he was 2 year old.   He grew up at Berkley Street, Obalende but he hails from the Ologolo family in Eti Osa Local Government, Lagos Island.  Though he is no longer new in the show business but as the saying goes, a patient dog eats the fattest bone, which is what aptly illustrates his journey into acting. The journey started for him in 2007 when he joined a Drama Club owned by the Vice Principal of his school. Thereafter, his friend who is also an actor, Azeez Ijaduade invited him to his group. Then, Benzemaa was still at Falomo Senior High School, Lagos.   He was there doing his thing quietly until 2013 when he took part in a movie titled Dayanmo, and since then, there is no going back for him.
