Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable has been sent to prison.
The singer Habeeb Okikiola who was arraigned before a Magistrate’s Court in Ogun state, on Monday morning, was granted bail but remanded at Ilaro Prison pending the time he fulfils his bail condition.
Singer Habeeb Okikiola:
The singer’s peril began last week when he shared an Instagram Live video claiming that some police personnel stormed his bar at Sango Ota at the request of an Internet fraudster (Yahoo Boy). The video, which has since gone viral, sparked some outrage online, which prompted the Ogun State Police Command to invite the singer to their office. However, Portable refused to show up after the 72-hour ultimatum given to him by the police to turn himself in.
The Police on Monday arraigned him before an Ifo Magistrate’s Court on five count charges including assault and attacks on the Police officers. Count one said Portable March 28 “willfully caused or inflicted physical injury on one Inspector Hammed Moshood with an elbow on his nose which caused blood to gush out from his nose and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 4 (1) of violence against persons and Prohibition laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2017.
“The second count charge alleged that Portable resisted an arrest by Inspector Moshood, ASP Kunle Badmus and ASP Gregory Iyoha, on the same day.”
