Yoruba actor Babatunde Omidina popularly known as Baba Suwe is seriously ill.
Bolaji Amusan aka Mr Latin has reacted to claims that Baba Suwe's colleagues have abandoned him despite his failing health.
Sources close to the 51-year-old actor revealed that he has been battling chronic diabetes. The state of his health had allegedly deteriorated after he confirmed to have been battling the ailment in 2018.
The actor is alleged to be currently walking with the aide of a stick.
The actor had initially denied reports that he was having financial challenges when one of his colleagues, Yomi Fabiyi, raised an alarm on his inability to raise funds to treat himself.
His colleague in the movie business Mr Latin, who is also the National President of the Theatre Arts and Motions Pictures Producers Association of Nigeria, TAMPAN, said the association had been taking care of Baba Suwe’s medical bills since 2017.
Mr Latin made this known in Abeokuta on Monday, February 18, 2019.
The comic actor also said his colleague had been getting financial and moral support from TAMPAN since the news broke under the administration of immediate past President of the association, Dele Odule.
He said, "I have just instructed the Lagos State executive of the association to check on him (Baba Suwe) to ascertain his health progress. I can tell you that we have not abandoned Baba Suwe".
