September 09, (THEWILL) – Embattled music rapper, Panshak Zamani, aka Ice Prince, accused of allegedly assaulting a police officer in Lagos, has been granted bail.
His lawyer, Folarin Dalmeida, said Ice Prince was released from the Nigerian correctional centre in Ikoyi, Lagos, on Thursday, September 8.

Magistrate T.F. Oyeniyi of Ajah Magistrate Court 1 had set bail conditions for the rapper at N500,000 with two sureties in like sum.
His trial was stalled on Wednesday, September 7, following the absence of the prosecution witnesses.
