Kwara State police have arrested popular singer, Habeb Okikiola Badmus, better known as ‘Portable,’ for alleged criminal defamation and other related offenses.
The arrest took place on Saturday, April 13, 2025, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, after police acted on a petition filed by Okunola Saheed, also known as ‘Osupa.’
According to a statement from the Kwara State Police Command, the allegations against Portable include criminal defamation, threats to life, incitement, character assassination, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, and the use of abusive language.
The police obtained a valid arrest warrant from a Magistrate Court in Ilorin, which led to Portable’s apprehension.
After being detained, Portable was brought to Ilorin for further investigation, where his statement was taken in the presence of legal representatives from both parties. He is currently in police custody, and preparations are being made to charge him in court soon.
The Kwara State Police Command emphasized its commitment to the rule of law and transparency, urging the public to stay calm and avoid spreading unverified information.
