Nigeria comedian held for drugs
-
Lagos - Authorities say a popular Nigerian comedian has been detained after an airport full-body scanner detected what investigators believe were drugs hidden inside his body.
Comedian Baba Suwe, whose real name is Babatunde Omidina, remained held on Friday by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency after investigators stopped him on Wednesday night at Lagos' Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
Agency spokesperson Ofoyeju Mitchell said the scanner picked up a suspicious object inside his body.
Baba Suwe, 53, remains a popular figure in Nigeria's Nollywood movies, often playing a befuddled butler or security guard for comic relief.
Nigeria is a major transit point for cocaine and heroin to Europe and the US.
