The Kwara State Police Command has arrested popular singer Habeb Okikiola Badmus, widely known as Portable, over allegations of criminal defamation and other related offences.

According to the police, the arrest followed a petition filed by Okunola Saheed, also known as Osupa, who accused the singer of threatening his life, character assassination, incitement, and using offensive language.

In a statement released by the command’s spokesperson, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, it was confirmed that a valid arrest warrant was obtained from a Magistrate Court in Ilorin. Acting on that warrant, officers tracked Portable down in Abeokuta, Ogun State, on Saturday, April 13, 2025, around 7:25 pm.

He was taken into custody and transported to Ilorin for further questioning. The police said his statement was recorded in the presence of legal representatives from both sides.

Portable is still in custody, and authorities say preparations are underway to charge him in court soon.

The police have called on the public to stay calm and avoid spreading false or unverified claims, adding that they remain committed to due process and ensuring justice is served fairly.

Nigerian rapper Eedris Abdulkareem has cleared the air on his new song Tell Your Papa, saying it wasn’t a personal attack on Seyi Tinubu.

Speaking on Channels TV’s Rubbin’ Minds, the veteran artist said the track was simply a response to Seyi’s public claim that his father, President Bola Tinubu, is Nigeria’s best-ever leader. That statement was made in March 2025 during a visit to Yola, Adamawa State.

Eedris explained that the song was meant to urge the president’s son to call on his father to fix the country’s issues, not to spark any personal drama.

“Nigerian youths are asking for the basics—electricity, security, jobs, and a working economy. Not handouts,” he said.

Meanwhile, he made it clear that if Seyi hadn’t made the remark, there wouldn’t have been a song at all. “I was inspired by his video. If he kept quiet, I would have too,” he added.

Shortly after the song dropped, the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) banned it from airwaves, calling it inappropriate—a move that has sparked backlash from many Nigerians.

Even Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka weighed in, slamming the ban as censorship and a threat to free speech.

Also, Eedris noted that over two decades after releasing Nigeria Jaga Jaga, the message sadly still rings true, as the country continues to battle the same problems it did years ago.

Popular British rapper Skepta reveals the one thing he will teach his children about Nigerians.

It can be recalled that the rapper recently steeped out in a jacket and was mocked for it by fans. Many also noted that the jacket has been worn by Nigerian influencer, Hushpuppi back in 2019.

A random user on X commented on the rapper’s photo and stated that the jacket has already been worn out before and it’s not special.

Skepta then reacts to comment “Lol, One thing I will teach my pikin is to never argue with a Nigerian.”

His comment caused many Nigerian fans to laugh at his observation.
