Fuji Star, Okunola Saheed, well-called Saheed Osupa, has discontinued his case against controversial Nigerian musician, Habib Badmus, alias Portable.
Recall that the Kwara State Police Command on Monday dragged Portable before the court following the petition from Saheed Osupa petition, accusing Portable of criminal defamation, criminal intimidation, inciting public disturbance and cyberstalking.
The withdrawer letter came following intervention and pleas from notable stakeholders.
The withdrawer letter confirmed that Saheed Osupa will settle the case with Portable out of court.
However, Osupa in the letter warned Portable to cease further publications or utterances criticising his personality.
It 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.
“We hereby on behalf of our client apply to withdraw the case against the defendant and terminate same accordingly as the matter had been resolved amicably.
“Further, sir, we want to pray the court to admonish and warn the defendant to desist from any further publications, utterances and any other acts aiming at disparaging the person and businesses of the nominal complainant.”
Chief Magistrate Sunday Adeniyi granted Portable bail on Monday with a bail amount of N1 million and 2 sureties, one of whom must be the chairman of the Performing Musician Association of Nigeria and the other must own property in the Government Reserve Area within the court’s jurisdiction, Dailyeconomy reported.Abdullateef Fowewe
