Baba Suwe with late wife
The veteran actor’s wife, actress, Omoladun Kenkelewu died in 2009 at their Ikorodu home in Lagos under mysterious circumstances.
He explained that he would have married before now if he could afford it adding that ladies these days wouldn’t love a broke man.
“It has been hard for me to cope since the death of my wife because I don’t have any woman with me. I really loved and trusted my former wife.
“But I will marry again, and it may be soon. However, it also has to do with money, because women will not love you if you don’t have money,” he told Sunday Scoop.
He also said that he was no longer interested in pursuing the N25m the court ordered NAFDAC to pay him after he was wrongfully detained and accused of ingesting cocaine in 2011. He said this was because he couldn’t afford a lawyer so there was no point..
“The NDLEA did not give me the money the court ordered, and I have forgotten about it. I’m not interested in pursuing any case against them again; I don’t have money to hire another lawyer.
“The former lawyer (Mr. Bamidele Aturu) who was pursuing the case for me is dead. He really wanted us to see the case to a logical conclusion because I’m not a cocaine pusher.

“I was really embarrassed and that incident affected my career and health. During the time, people did not call me for movies. However, I just finished working on my own movie,” he said.
