Baba Suwe victim of injustice, Yomi Fabiyi speaks on struggles

Nigerian actor Yomi Fabiyi has shed light on the painful experiences of the late comedy legend Alhaji Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, in a video shared on social media.

Fabiyi recounted the injustice and human rights abuse the late actor endured during his lifetime, reflecting on the lessons he learned from Baba Suwe’s struggles.

Fabiyi captioned the video: “Late Alhaji Babatunde Omidina a.k.a Baba Suwe was a victim of Human Rights Abuse and injustice. I have too many lessons to learn from his life and saga. When you are alive, reigning without problem or sickness, don’t ever assume that your colleagues/friends loved you. Until you are faced with a career or life-threatening problem, don’t count your friends. IT IS OFTEN BETTER TO WALK ALONE.

In fact, start teaching yourself to perch alone. Keep relationships but often reflect the energy to walk the lonely road. It is not PRIDE, in fact, you get stronger that way. NOBODY IS IMMUNE TO DEATH. Continue to RIP Boss and Father in the industry. We miss you.”

In the emotional video, Fabiyi narrated in Yoruba how Baba Suwe broke into tears while recounting his ordeal during a meeting. According to Fabiyi, the late actor lamented that the allegations against him felt like a deliberate attack, knowing he might lack the means to defend himself.

“When the issue first happened, and I spoke out, I went to meet him as my boss,” Fabiyi said. “As he was talking, he broke into tears. He said he was not really after the money but that what broke him most was the thought that they did it because they believed he wouldn’t know how to defend himself or cry out. Even if someone said sorry to him, it would have been enough to relieve him of his sickness.”

Fabiyi revealed that during their conversation, he called his lawyer in an attempt to secure justice for Baba Suwe.

Baba Suwe, a popular comic actor in Nollywood, died on November 22, 2021.
