A Fuji Star, Okunola Saheed, popularly called Osupa, has withdrawn his case against controversial musician, Badmus Okikiola, also known as Portable.
The Kwara State police had arrested Portable over alleged criminal defamation against Osupa.
The singer was remanded in a correctional facility after failing to meet bail conditions of 1 million naira and two sureties, one of whom must be the Chairman of the Performing Musicians Association of Nigeria (PMAN).
In a press statement released by his team, Osupa decided to drop the charges following appeals from prominent Nigerians.
The withdrawal letter, however, conveyed Osupa’s warning that Portable desists from further publications or utterances disparaging his person.
The withdrawal letter read, “It’s our client’s (nominal complainant) instruction that the stakeholders in the music industry and other notable personalities in the society have intervened in the matter and pleaded to the nominal complainant to withdraw the case against the defendant in the interest of public peace.
Recall that Osupa, among others, alleged that Portable made a live stream video to abuse him, adding that the defendant (Portable) damaged his reputation by claiming that he removed his music from Apple Music and Spotify, which would have been fetching him income.
The complainant further accused Portable of using a live stream video to malign his character.
