Police give Portable 72-hour ultimatum to report self
Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been given a 72-hour ultimatum by the Ogun State Police Command to report himself to the nearest police station or be arrested by Friday.
The new development was confirmed by the state’s Police Public Relations Officers, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the development in a statement obtained by our correspondent on Wednesday.
Also, Mr Oyeyemi confirmed that Portable’s father had pleaded on his son’s behalf and promised to bring him to the station.
Earlier on, two videos of the singer went viral showing the artiste cursing some officers of the force in Ogun State.
In the clip, Portable claimed that an internet fraudster had brought the police to his bar to arrest him and his staff members “for no reason”.

However, the Ogun state police spokesperson, Oyeyemi, explained that the police moved to arrest Portable after five invites were sent to him and another through his father, but he never honoured any of the summons.
Furthermore, he said that the Zazu crooner was invited following a petition by a young studio owner who claimed that Portable together with his aides beat him to stupor and locked his studio.
In addition, Portable has had a similar case in 2022 where his father had escorted him to the Police Headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, after the singer refused to honour police invitation over alleged assault of a disc jockey in the Sango area of the state.
