Busy Signal will return to court on June 6 when the case will once again be mentioned.

The highly acclaimed singjay, known for several smash hits such as Step Out, These Are They Days, Nah Go Jail Again and One More Night was arrested on an extradition warrant by members of the Fugitive Apprehension Team of the Organized Crime Investigation Division at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston on Monday
