Popular Nigerian Singer Portable Released on Bail from Ilorin Custodial Centre Nigerian street-hop singer, Badmus Abeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been officially released from the Ilorin correctional facility after fulfilling revised bail conditions. His release comes after Saheed Osupa, a well-known Fuji musician, withdrew his petition which initially led to Portable’s arrest. According to Daily Post Nigeria, Portable was freed around 3:30 PM on Tuesday, following an update to his bail terms by the authorities.

Details Surrounding Portable’s Arrest and Release Portable was arrested on Saturday in Abeokuta, Ogun State, and later transferred to Kwara State by operatives of the Kwara State Police Command.
