Baba Suwe gets 25 MILLION naira from NDLEA humilation

Ace Yoruba actor and comedian, Baba Tunde Omidira, Alias Baba Suwe, has been awarded twenty five million naira for the humiliation and degrading treatment he suffered in the hands of the national drug law enforcement agency, NDLEA.

Justice Yetunde Idoku also ordered the anti-drug agency to publicly apologise to the comedian.

This according to the court should be done in two major national dailies.

Baba Suwe was arrested on October 12 at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport after body scanning machines at the airport indicated that the actor had some drugs in his system.

He was subsequently held for 24 days to make him excrete the drugs but this did not happen even when he was subjected to different methods to flush his system.

Baba Suwe was subsequently released on the orders of an Ikeja High Court on November 4, following which his lawyer Babatunde Aturu pressed damages against the agency for humiliation and violation of Baba Suwe’s rights.

Cliford Orji’s family rejects corpse

Family members of the celebrated alleged man-eater, Clifford Orji, who died three weeks ago, may have rejected him even in death.

This is because nobody has come to claim his body.

Orji died after 13 years of awaiting trial in Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, Lagos, and his body was deposited at the Isolo General Hospital mortuary.

An authoritative source at the hospital, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, told Sunday Sun that Orji’s body was brought to the hospital by prison officials.

However, since then, neither the family members nor the prison officials have come to check on it.

The source said the hospital authorities have been waiting for whoever would take responsibility for the corpse.

He told Sunday Sun that there had been similar cases where family members refused to claim their dead ones and after a period the hospital management procured necessary documents from the law courts, Ministry of Health and other relevant authorities to bury the abandoned corpses.

The source said: “But in the case of Clifford Orji, our hands are tied. We are patiently waiting to see what the government would do because, as it is, nobody is willing to claim the body.”

The senior official said though the hospital has symbiotic relationship with the Prisons and the Police, it would not have accepted the body of such a controversial person.

However, when contacted, a senior management member of the Prisons, who did not want his name in print, said the Nigerian Prisons Service did not do anything wrong by depositing Orji’s body in the government hospital.

The prisons official said: “The police charged Orji to court and the court in question gave us Clifford Orji to keep for the government, which we did for 13 consecutive years.

“When he eventually died, we could not have buried him.

“So we have to give it to the government hospital to keep for the government.”

He confirmed that during the 13 years the late Orji was in prison custody awaiting trial, nobody came to identify with him.

The prisons official also told Sunday Sun that with his death, the prisons had washed its hand off Orji’s case.

It would be recalled that Orji died three weeks ago after a brief illness.

He gained national attention following allegation that he killed and ate human beings and sold their parts to ritual killers.

Sunday shocker! Hoodlums invade church

Steal Holy Communion, sacred books

•Congregation pray for suspects

From PAUL OSUYI, Asaba

In what could be described as a Sunday shocker, hoodlums broke into the Catholic Church in Illah, Oshimili North Local Government Area of Delta State.

They stole the Blessed Sacrament, otherwise known as Holy Communion, from the tabernacle.

The hoodlums also vandalized the entrance to the tabernacle to gain access to the communion.

They also broke into the sacristy and stole sacred books.

The bandits, who came under the cover of night, made straight to the tabernacle, broke into it to remove the communion before invading the sacristy and carted away the books.

A source, which doesn’t want to be named, stated that other materials including cassocks, chasubles, vestments and others were not spared.

The source added: “Up till now, we don’t know where they have taken the sacred items to or what they intend to do with them.

“It is a mystery and I do not know how such materials would be useful to them.”

Following the invasion, the leadership of the church in Iselle-Uku Diocese has declared one week of reparation prayers in all the parishes (Catholic churches) across the diocese, which covers the entire Delta North, except the three council areas of Ukwuani.

During the one-week reparation prayers, which will commence today, there would be no spiritual activities, including masses and prayer meetings, in the affected church, which would be shut.

The prayers are to seek the mercy of God for the suspects.

They would be held for 30 minutes everyday for the period.
