Controversial singer Habeeb Okikilola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has landed in police custody following serious defamation allegations levelled against him by fuji legend Saheed Osupa.
According to a statement issued by Kwara State Police Command spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, Portable is accused of criminal defamation, threats to life, incitement, character assassination, and actions likely to disturb public peace—including the use of abusive language against the veteran musician.
With sufficient evidence submitted alongside the petition, the police secured an arrest warrant from a Magistrate Court in Ilorin.
Acting swiftly, operatives tracked Portable to Abeokuta, Ogun State, where he was arrested at 7:25 p.m. on Sunday, 13 April 2025, and transported to Ilorin for interrogation.
“Upon his arrival, the suspect’s statement was recorded in the presence of legal representatives from both sides,” the statement read.
Police have confirmed that Portable remains in custody as preparations are being finalised to arraign him in court.
