Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, better known as Portable, has taken to social media to cry out for help, following his arrest by Fuji star, Saheed Osupa.
In a post shared online, Portable begged for forgiveness, insisting he had no issue with law enforcement and that his arrest was a result of Osupa’s actions.
“Make una help me beg Osupa. I no get any problem with police. Na him say make them come carry me,” Portable said emotionally.”
According to sources, the brouhaha began after Saheed Osupa accused Portable of copyright infringement, leading to the take down of one of Portable’s songs from streaming platforms.
In response, Portable went on a rant, mocking Osupa online with derogatory remarks about his appearance and status, calling Osupa names.
Following backlash from fans, Portable later issued a public apology, saying, “King Saheed Osupa, I am so sorry. It was money that wanted to cause our fight. My fans should please apologise to him.”
Despite the apology, tensions appear to have escalated, culminating in the singer’s arrest. Saheed Osupa has yet to publicly address the arrest or respond to Portable’s pleas.
News earlier made the rounds online that police officers in Kwara state arrested Portable.
According to a statement from the spokesperson of the command, SP Adetoun Ejire-Adeyemi, 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 Sunday, 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. ‘’
