A leading Nigerian comic actor arrested on suspicion of ingesting
drugs to smuggle to Europe was on Friday freed on bail after 25 closely
monitored bowel movements produced nothing suspicious.
Babatunde
Omidina, known by his stage name Baba Suwe, was arrested last month at
Lagos's international airport where he had been due to take a flight to
France. But after 24 days in detention during which his bowel
movements were earnestly followed by authorities and the media, an
apologetic High Court judge in Lagos ordered his release.
Judge
Yetunde Idowu told the frail and emaciated looking actor: "I wish you
well. Take care of yourself. You are free to go home."
