Popular singer, Portable has been remanded at the Oke Kura Correctional Centre in Ilorin. This is coming after he failed to meet the bail conditions set by an Upper Area Court in Kwara State, and Nigerians have been reacting.
Recall that Portable was arraigned on charges including criminal defamation, cyberstalking, criminal intimidation, and inciting public disturbance by popular Fuji musician, Saheed Osupa.
The singer had said, “This man dey try bring down my shine! He be like person wey dey chop snail with shell—him no get sense. Osupa carry tortoise for stomach. When Apple Music and Spotify want to drop money for me, na him remove my song from the platform, make I no see money.”
Saheed Osupa simply reacted by describing the remarks as defamatory and inciting, stating that Portable’s statements were intended to damage his reputation and stir public hatred.
After Portable was granted bail in the sum of ₦1 million, with the court stipulating two sureties of equal amount, the singer remains in custody at the close of proceedings having failed to meet these conditions.
WOW.
