Ace Yoruba Comic Actor and Nigerian Comedy Legend, Babatunde Omidina, popularly known as Baba Suwe, was confirmed dead today, Monday, November 21, 2021, at the age of 63. 

MegaXpression Media got the information when his Son, Adesola Morenikeji Omidina took to his Instagram page to announce the sad news. Baba Suwe was born on August 22, 1958, in Lagos Island, where he grew up but hails from Igbogbo, his home town.

Omidina had his primary education at Jamaitul Islamial Primary School in Lagos and Children Boarding School, Osogbo before he proceeded to Adekanbi Commercial High School in Mile 12, Lagos State but obtained the West African School Certificate from Ifeoluwa Grammar School in Osogbo, the capital of Osun State.

Omidina began acting in 1971 but came into the limelight after he featured in a movie titled, Omolasan, a film produced by Obalende.

He became more popular after he featured in Iru Esin, produced by Olaiya Igwe in 1997. He had featured and produced several Nigerian movies such as Baba Jaiye jaiye, a movie that featured Funke Akindele and Femi Adebayo, the son of the veteran actor Adebayo Salami.

In 2011, he was accused of cocaine trafficking by the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, an allegation that was described as false and defamatory by the ruling of the Lagos High Court.
HRM Oba AbdulSemiu Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, during the wedding of Baba Suwe's Son in Iwo, Osun State in 2016.

Speaking with MegaXpression Media, the King of his home town, HRM Oba AbdulSemiu Orimadegun Kasali, Adeboruwa of Igbogbo Kingdom, expressed shock and displeasure over the sad news, saying Baba Suwe had truly made Igbogbo and Ikorodu Division proud through his chosen profession.
