Portable Threatens Legal Action Against Defamation.

Following his recent arrest and temporary detainment related to alleged criminal defamation against Fuji musician Saheed Osupa, controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, known as Portable, has vowed to pursue legal action against anyone who defames him.
In a widely circulated video, Portable declared his intention to ensure the arrest of individuals who engage in defamatory speech against him. Citing his own experience with legal repercussions for defamation, the “Zazu” crooner stated, “Whoever talks bad about me or defames me will be arrested. They have done it to me, and I will do it to anybody too. There is no mercy.”
This declaration follows Portable’s remand at the Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin after failing to meet initial bail conditions. He was subsequently released after Saheed Osupa withdrew the petition against him. The incident appears to have solidified Portable’s resolve to vigorously defend his reputation through legal means.
