NDLEA and Baba Suwe

'Baba Suwe' and his fan joyous on his release in November 2011



An Ikeja High Court (Lagos, Nigeria) yesterday, ordered the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, to pay the N25 million damages awarded to popular comic actor, Mr. Babatunde Omidina, a.k.a. Baba Suwe.

Delivering her ruling, Justice Idowu ordered NDLEA to pay the N25 million to the Chief Registrar of the High Court who will in turn deposit it into an interest yielding account. The court, however, granted NDLEA’s application not to make any apology to Baba Suwe in any national newspaper pending the case before the Court of Appeal.

The comedian had spent three weeks in jail on suspicion of smuggling drugs in his stomach late last year.

There is a manhole in front of you lady! Well it is in a town in the US. We do love a good laugh you know. Some of the laws that are passed in a lot of countries are so funny, but some are just plain balmy. Though this makes a lot of sense but its still just funny. It is now an offence to walk while you are texting (or sexting as the case may be) in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for about a month now and already the local police department has issued 117 tickets at $85 per offence after 20 accidents were caused by distracted pedestrians texting and strolling across the road. So if you are ever in Fort Lee, New Jersey and caught walking on the sidewalk and texting (this includes tweeting, BBM and any other form of textings), you will be charged with 'Reckless walking' and a fine of $85. Happy texting!
