Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, also known as Portable, has been arrested for alleged criminal defamation and related offenses against veteran Fuji musician Saheed Osupa.

The information, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by the Kwara State Police Public Relations Officer, has drawn significant attention from internet users.

In a press statement, the PPRO, Ejire-Adeyemi Toun, noted that the Command had received a petition from Saheed Osupa against Portable and that police detectives have been assigned to investigate the allegations.

The petition outlines several serious allegations, including criminal defamation, threats to life, incitement, character assassination, and the use of abusive and insulting language.

In light of the seriousness of the allegations and the supporting evidence presented, the Command obtained a valid arrest warrant from a Magistrate Court sitting in Ilorin.

A part of officers’ tweet read;

“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. The Kwara State Police Command remains committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that justice is served in a fair and transparent manner. We urge members of the public to remain calm and refrain from spreading unverified information. Further updates on the case will be communicated as events unfold.”
