Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, alias Portable, has been arrested and would be charged in court following the 72-hour ultimatum given to him by Police force.
Remember that the police had ordered the ‘Zazoo Zehh’ singer to turn himself in following assault allegations. The performer will now be held in police custody until Monday.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, Public Relations Officer of the Ogun State Police, verified the singer’s arrest on Friday, adding that he is now at the State Police Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
In an earlier report by The Punch on Tuesday, the artiste was seen in two videos verbally assaulting and rough handling some police officers at his bar in Sango Ota, Ogun State. However, he claimed that “for no reason”, an alleged Internet fraudster had brought the police officers to his bar to arrest him and his staff members.
According to Oyeyemi, Portable 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.
He added that all the summons that were sent to the singer, he did not honour any of them.
