Joseph Omoniyi
Following the recent cry out for help by popular Nigerian actor, Babatunde Omodina, “Baba Suwe”, members of the Theatre Arts and Motions Pictures Producers’ Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN) has denied abandoning him in the hospital after he was diagnosed with an undisclosed illness.
National President of the association, Bolaji Amusan, said the report was sponsored by mischief-makers to discredit TAMPAN.
Amusan, popularly known as Mr Latin, said the association had been taking care of the veteran actor’s medical bills since 2017, under the administration of immediate-past President, 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, as well as any of our members, as being speculated in some quarters by mischief-makers.”
However, Amusan said they had designed a new policy to help members of the association.
