Nigerian music artist, Habib Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has changed his look following his release from prison.
NPO Reported that the Zazoo crooner was on Monday remanded in Ilorin prison, Kwara state, after failing to meet his bail conditions in defamation suit filed against him by Fuji legend, Saheed Osupa.
The fuji icon had petitioned the Kwara State Police Command, accusing Portable of defamation and threat to life.
Portable was arrested and arraigned before an Upper High Court sitting in Ilorin.
The court had granted the singer N1 million bail with two sureties which the Portable failed to meet, leading to his remand in prison.
Osupa would however withdraw the case against the controversial singer yesterday, stressing that the decision was borne out of compassion and the intervention and pleas from well-meaning Nigerians.
Few hours after his release, Portable resurfaced in a post on his Instagram handle with a clean-shaved head as against his signatory multi-colour dyed hair.
The singer, however, apologized to Osupa in a separate reel post on his Instagram handle.
“God bless you Sir am sorry baami 🙏🙏🙏”Portable wrote on the image of the Fuji icon he shared on his Instagram reel.
