Babatunde Omidina, a.k. a.  Baba Suwe, the popular Nigerian comedian who was held as a drug suspect  may sue the country’s drug law enforcement agency, his lawyer, Bamidele Aturu said today.
Baba Suwe was freed on $3,300 bail Friday in line with a Tuesday court order that said he would remain held only if he excreted drugs.
Investigators had held the actor since  12 October  at Nigeria’s busiest airport. They accused him of swallowing narcotics before boarding a flight to Paris, but found no drugs.
Lawyer Bamidele Aturu says the comedian may sue Nigeria’s National Drug Law Enforcement Agency over tests conducted without his consent.
Anti-drug agency spokesman Ofoyeju Mitchell said  he was not aware of a Wednesday test that Aturu described as “unlawful.”
