JUST IN: Portable arraigned in court over alleged assault on govt officials

Date:

Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, a controversial Nigerian singer, was arraigned before the Isabo High Court in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday.

This comes after his surrender to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba on Wednesday, after being declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command.

The accusations resulted from an event on February 5, 2025, when Portable reportedly led an attack on authorities from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development during an enforcement exercise at his establishment in the Sango Ota neighbourhood.

The officers were injured, and while nine of Portable’s companions were apprehended, the singer escaped until his recent recapture.

Portable, born on March 12, 1994, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, gained prominence with his 2021 hit single “ZaZoo Zehh,” featuring Olamide and Poco Lee.

His career has been marked by multiple controversies, including public disputes with fellow artists and allegations of violent behaviour.

The Ogun State Government has condemned Portable’s actions, describing him as a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal.”
