Popular Yoruba actor/comedian Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, was yesterday arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, Lagos, for suspected drug (cocaine) trafficking.

He was arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) during the final clearance of passengers, who were to board an Air France flight to Paris, France.

The airport security scanner revealed that the actor had ingested substances suspected to be cocaine.
NDLEA spokesman Mitchel Ofoyeju confirmed the arrest. He said Baba Suwe is being detained at the Airport command office and is under observation pending when he would pass out the substance.

Sources said the comedian denied ingesting the drugs until he was taken through the scanner.

Baba Suwe had earlier told the security operatives that he was on his way to Paris, where he was supposed to be the master of ceremonies at a naming ceremony on Saturday.
It was gathered that an airline staff was also arrested in relation to the case. (The nation)
