Portable Arrested in Abeokuta Over Defamation and Threat Allegations
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 singer Harry song speaks on the rising insecurity in the country and shared that increasing the security income can help improve their performance in securing the country.
The singer took to social media and urged the government “TO MR PRESIDENT. IF YOU REALLY, TRULY WANNA END INSECURITY IN NIGERIA? Start by increasing the salary and allowances of the armed forces. The salary of the army, the navy, the air force, the Nigerian Police Force is too small, too shameful. Increase their salary, this job should be worth dying for. Increase their salaries ooooooo pls and pls.”
Nigerian singer, Peter Okoye from the former duo P-Square, shares his greatest fear. During a recent interview, the singer spoke about his fears and revealed that he is not afraid of death.
Instead, he said he is scared of poverty and has this fear because he has experienced it before. “I am not afraid of death. The only thing I am afraid of in this life is poverty, of being broke.
“I have tasted it [poverty] before. I have been in our house with my parents and siblings, and a bulldozer came and demolished it.”
Popular Nigerian singer, Davido, makes headlines for his gesture of goodwill. It can be noted that during the afternoon performance, the singer paused for one minute of silence to honor his colleague Wizkid’s mother.
The singer paused during his performance and said “Personally, I have lost many loved ones, people close to me, so I understand how Wizkid is feeling right now. May his mother, our mother because she was dear to me, rest in peace.”
This gesture touched many fans, as they were in awe of the singer showing a kind heart despite the usual rivalry between their fan bases.
