Baba Suwe's son speaks on actor's touching last moments
In a recent interview with BBC Pidgin, Baba Suwe's son, Adebowale Omidina, noted that he had gotten back home from the gym when his mother informed him that the comic actor was no longer breathing well.
The young man noted that the actor had already been placed on his first drip when he got home and the medical personnel present gave him the second one before he stepped out to wash his kits.
Adebowale then added that while he was washing his kits, his mother took him aside to inform him of his father’s death.
The young man said he was filled with shock at the news and which was why he made a video of his late father’s corpse and posted it on his WhatsApp status. However, the video went viral just within minutes of him posting it.
The young man also noted that Baba Suwe had never gotten over his ordeal with the NDLEA.
