The management of Fuji star Saheed Osupa has announced that the legal action against Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has been legally halted at the request of Osupa himself.
It is critical to note that the legal procedures were filed by Osupa’s management team in response to what was deemed a serious violation of intellectual property rights as well as an intolerable pattern of defamation and public misconduct.

According to Osupa’s team, the objective was not personal but to establish a precedent that would discourage disruptive behaviour and promote responsibility, particularly among younger artists.
They also mentioned that a couple of prominent individuals weighed in on Osupa’s legal battle with Portable.
In response to heartfelt pleas from Alhaji Ahmad Lawal, CEO of Lahmad Concepts, and Saheed Ibile, CEO of Harmony Holdings Ltd, Alh. Fatai Lajero, on behalf of the Olufimo Royal Parliament and Alh Waheed Ogunsesan, National President of the Olufimo Fans Club, and moved by Portable’s plight as a result of his inability to meet his bail conditions, Osupa issued a personal directive for the case to be dropped immediately.
“Please note that this decision is driven by compassion and the hope that this moment will serve as a turning point in Portable’s life and career, as Osupa believes that while accountability is essential, mercy, too, is a pillar of leadership. He hopes that Portable will seize this opportunity for reflection, growth, and transformation,” Osupa’s team highlighted.
As a condition of this withdrawal, Portable is expected to:
“Retract his statement implying Saheed Osupa should be held responsible if anything happens to him
“Confess to the falsehood of the public claim of his lawyer, Chief Bar. Isaac Adebayo, about holding Saheed Osupa’s leg begging for forgiveness because , contrary to this claim, Osupa did not even set his eyes on Portable
“Sign an undertaking to desist from cyberbullying, defamation, and character assassination henceforth.”
Osupa’s team emphasised that: “ If these conditions are not met, the case may be reinstated.”
