Nigerian controversial singer, Badmus Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has shaved his coloured hair.
Portable revealed his new look in a video he shared on his Instagram reels.
He also tendered an apology to veteran Fuji musician, Okunola Saheed, popularly called Osupa.
He also shared a photo of Osupa which he captioned, “God bless you, sir. I’m sorry Baami.”
This came after he was released on released from police custody in Ilorin the Kwara State capital, following Osupa’s withdrawal of his petition.
Online recall that Osupa had petitioned the police, accusing Portable of criminal defamation, criminal intimidation, inciting public disturbance and cyberstalking.
Following the petition, the Kwara State Police Command arraigned Portable before a Kwara State Upper Area Court in Ilorin on Monday.
He was arraigned for offences deemed contrary and punishable under Section 392 (Criminal Defamation), Section 114 (Inciting Disturbance), Section 397 (Criminal Intimidation) of the Penal Code and Sections 24(1)(b) and 24(2)(c) of the Cybercrimes Act, 2015, as well as Sections 10 and 13 of the Violence Against Persons (Prohibition) Law, 2020.
According to the petition, during a live Instagram broadcast on March 19, Portable made defamatory remarks against Osupa, accusing him of jealousy and attempts to sabotage his career.
The presiding magistrate, Sunday Adeniyi, however, admitted Portable to bail in the sum of N1 million and 2 sureties, out of which one of them must be a chairman of the Performing Musician Association of Nigeria and the other one must own landed property in the Government Reserve Area within the jurisdiction of the Court.
Portable was, however, unable to perfect his bail condition on Monday and was remanded at the federal correctional facility, Oke Kura, Ilorin.
He regained his freedom on Tuesday, after Osupa, through his solicitor, Opalekunde Ahmed, filed for withdrawal of the case.
