2face Idibia, a prominent singer from Nigeria, has demanded the release of Ice Prince’s coworker, Panshak Zamani.
According to an earlier report by Anaedoonline.ng, the rapper was detained last Friday by members of the Lagos State Police Command for operating a vehicle without license plates and kidnapping officers who were on duty.
The 35-year-old performer was promptly charged at the Lagos Magistrate Court in the Ajah district.

Ice Prince was charged with three counts, including assault, preventing a police officer from performing his official responsibilities, and kidnapping.
The musician entered a not guilty plea, despite having the counts read to him.
After hearing the case, the court’s judge, Justice Taiwo Oyaniyi, rendered a decision and ruled that Ice Prince be kept in custody in the Ikoyi Prison.
Ice Prince was subsequently granted bail in the amount of N500,000 by Oyaniyi. He must also offer the court two trustworthy sureties.
He must remain in custody until he completes his bail condition, the magistrate said. He then put the case’s remaining proceedings on hold until September 7.

In response to the incident, 2face asked whether being a young person in Nigeria has turned into a crime in a post uploaded on his Instagram story.
2face demanded that the police free the musician who was being held captive, claiming that all youth-led demonstrations and struggles serve the interests of security personnel.
He wrote: “Has it become a crime to be a young person in this country?
“Every protest and struggle is also for you to have better pay, equipment and proper retirement benefits. #FreeIcePrince”
