The actors on their individual Instagram page posted a video emphasizing that the thespian is not only alive but sound and urged fans and well wishes to disregard the death rumours.

Mr Latin who is the President of the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), said,

“Good afternoon everybody, the purported rumours about Baba Suwe dead is fake, it’s fake news.

“Baba Suwe is alive and he is presently in America undergoing treatment.

“I thank you all for your support and for your concern.

“I want to tell you authoritatively that Baba Suwe is alive, he is hale, he is healthy… and nothing has happened to him.”

On the other hand, Yobi Fabiyi claimed he spoke to Baba Suwe today and apologised for not responding on time.

“Hello, guys…I just want to use this medium to tell you that everything you’ve been hearing about Baba Suwe’s passing on, they are not correct, they are not true, they are rumours.

“I just spoke to him about three minutes ago and he sounds very good.

“Thank you guys and I apologise for not responding quickly, thank you.”

WuzupNaija reports that Baba Suwe’s health had raised concerns over the months following donations from notable personalities and well-wishers.
