Amusan disclosed that the Minister of Health, Prof Isaac Adewole, had made arrangements for the comedian to be treated while the Federal Government will foot the medical bills.
Amusan said, “Myself and other association members have just taken Baba Suwe to LUTH from his residence.
”I want to appreciate the minister for this gesture, we are happy that our colleague will be back on his feet after a comprehensive treatment.
”He is receiving first-class treatment and we feel so honoured.

“I also thank everyone who had made donations toward our appeal for him, we can’t appreciate them enough.
