Embattled Nigerian rapper, Ice Prince, whose real name is Panshak Zamani, who made headlines for allegedly assaulting a police officer in Lagos, has been granted bail.
His lawyer, Folarin Dalmeida, confirmed the development in an interview with PREMIUM TIMES Friday afternoon.
Mr. Dalmeida said his client was released from the Nigerian correctional center in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday.
“His bail conditions have already been met, and he was released yesterday (Thursday),” he said.
The bail conditions set for the rapper by the magistrate court in Ajah Lagos was N500,000 with two responsible sureties.
The case was stalled on Wednesday following the absence of the prosecution witnesses.
Mr. Dalmeida, however, did not make any comment or reference to the absence of the prosecution witnesses at the last hearing.
The Lagos State Police Command’s spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, is yet to respond to this newspaper’s request for an update on the case.
