Singer Portable Arraigned in Ogun Court for Assault

By Abigail Philip David

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was arraigned on Thursday at the Isabo High Court in Abeokuta, Ogun State.

His court appearance follows his surrender to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department in Yaba on Wednesday after being declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command.

The charges against Portable stem from a February 5, 2025, incident in which he allegedly led an attack on officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development. The officials were carrying out an enforcement exercise at his bar in the Sango Ota area when they were assaulted, sustaining injuries. While nine of Portable’s associates were arrested at the time, the singer evaded capture until his recent surrender.

Born on March 12, 1994, in Abeokuta, Portable rose to fame in 2021 with his hit single ZaZoo Zehh, featuring Olamide and Poco Lee. His career has been marked by numerous controversies, including public feuds and allegations of violent behavior.

The Ogun State Government has strongly condemned Portable’s actions, labeling him a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal.” Officials reaffirmed their commitment to enforcing the law and ensuring accountability for such behavior.
