Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been granted bail of N1 million following his arrest over a defamation case filed by Fuji musician Saheed Osupa.
The bail was granted on Monday, April 14, 2025, after Portable appeared before a court in Kwara State.
His counsel, Isaac Adebayo, confirmed that the bail was granted following an oral application.
The case stems from a petition filed by Osupa accusing the singer of criminal defamation, threat to life, incitement, character assassination, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
According to Adebayo, attempts to settle the matter at the police station failed despite pleas from Portable and the Commissioner of Police.
“Though the condition is a bit stringent, we will meet up. He was asked to provide the Kwara State Chairman of PMAN as a surety, another person with a landed property in GRA, and one million naira in like sum,” Adebayo stated.
