June 20, (THEWILL)- About two weeks ago, Babatunde Omidina, aka Baba Suwe, received a cheque of N3.1 million from the Lagos State Government as compensation for his demolished property, which will pave the way for the expansion of the Igbogbo-Igbe Road in Ikorodu. The seasoned actor is happy that Governor Babajide Sanwo -Olu made good his promise to compensate residents affected by the demolition.
While Baba Suwe plans to use the money to rebuild his demolished house, he prays that the extent of the damage that took place does not surpass the compensation he got from the government.
“I have not visited the property in question due to my health challenge. My movement is restricted for now unless I get someone to drive me around. I hope the money I have received as compensation will be sufficient to rebuild the affected building,” he said.
Investigations conducted by THEWILL revealed that the property affected by the road construction is one of the many properties owned by the talented actor. The demolished building was leased out to tenants, while he lives at his Ewu Elepe residence.
