Kwara Police Quizzes Portable Over Defamation Allegations By Saheed Osupa ( Video)

Operatives of Kwara Police Command have arrested the controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikilola Badmus, popularly known as Portable over defamation allegations brought against him by veteran fuji musician, Okunola Saheed, better known as Saheed Osupa.

The arrest followed a petition filed by Osupa, which prompted police action and culminated in the issuance of a warrant by a Magistrate Court sitting in Ilorin, Kwara State.

According to a statement issued by the command’s spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, the petition detailed multiple allegations, including criminal defamation, threats to life, incitement, character assassination, conduct likely to cause a breach of public peace, and the use of abusive and offensive language.

Ejire-Adeyemi further confirmed that Portable remains in custody as arrangements are being finalised to formally arraign him in court.

The statement reads partly, “The petition borders on serious allegations which includes criminal defamation, threat to life, incitement, character assassination, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and the use of abusive and insulting words.

“In view of the weight of these allegations and the supporting evidence presented, the Command secured a valid arrest warrant from a Magistrate Court sitting in Ilorin.

“Acting on this warrant, operatives from the Command proceeded to Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Saturday, 13th April 2025, where the suspect was apprehended at about 19:25hrs. He was immediately brought to Ilorin for further investigations.

“Upon his arrival, the suspect’s statement was taken in the presence of legal representatives from both parties. He is currently in custody and arrangements are being made to charge him to court without delay.”
