Baba Suwe’s lawyer, Bamidele Aturu told journalists in Lagos that the Court of Appeals’ decision would be taken to the Supreme Court because it was one that could encourage the culture of impunity on the part of law enforcement agencies.
‘If we do not appeal the decision, history will not forgive us. We shall be heading to the Supreme Court. It is a matter of public duty now. As soon as we get the judgment, within three or four days the appeal will be ready. Let the Supreme Court finally rule on it. We think this can also encourage the culture of impunity on the part of law enforcement agencies’, Aturu said.
The Court of Appeal had last Friday, ruled that NDLEA had good reasons to detain Baba Suwe, and set aside the N25 million awarded by Justice Yetunde Idowu of a Lagos High Court, to the comedian.
Baba Suwe was arrested at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport on his way to Paris, France on Saturday, October 15, 2011.
