The judge said the continued detention of the actor amounts to a violation of his fundamental human rights. She also noted that she would have allowed him to go home if the bail was perfected today but for the Federal High Court detention order granted NDLEA, the order is expected to expire on Friday 4 November 2011.
Baba Suwe was also present in court as ordered by the judge.
who was arrested some weeks back by Nigeria's drug law enforcement agency on suspicion of trafficking in narcotics.
The judge also warned NDLEA to be careful with the life of Baba Suwe with the way the agency is making him to excrete.
After the court session, gistmaster captured the mammoth crowd of fans of the actors, friends and media personalities who gathered outside the court room, hailing him - 'Oya gbeti'
Bamidele Aturu the lawyer for Baba Suwe disclosed that the pronouncement was a victory for rule of law. The human rights activist also insist that it was wrong for NDLEA to arrest them and then started 'fishing' for evidence where there is none.

I would only hope that Baba Suwe would make good as a citizen and be a voice for many of people who are held behind bars against their will who are innocent but don't have a voice to a fair trial.
ReplyDeleteOf cause! He had to pay to get bail for not doing anything...this is so disappointing... the government should be ashamed of themselves!
ReplyDeleteWHAT IS HAPENING HERE PLEASE? DON'T WE HAVE X-RAY TO DICTATE DRUGS IN THE BELLY AGAIN? ARE WE SO BACKWARD THAT WE SHOULD WAITE TILL ONE EXCRATES DRUGS? WHAT A SHAME FOR NIGERIA. i AM OF THE OPINION THAT THIS MAN MUST HAVE PASSED OUT THE DRUG AND THOSE KEEING HIM MUST HAVE BEEN BOUGHT OVER TO MAKE JEST OF THE NDLA BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY ONE CAN BE DISCOVERED BY THE AIRPORT X-RAY AND FOR WEEKS AFTER THE STORY IS CHENGING THIS WAY. THOSE WHO ARE INVOLVED SHOULD ALL BE INVESTIGATED AND SACKED ACCORDINGLY.
