Ogun State Officials Assaulted: Portable Faces Charges
Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was arraigned on February 20, 2025, at the Isabo Magistrate Court in Abeokuta, Ogun State. The charges stem from an incident on February 5, 2025, where Portable allegedly led an attack on officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development during their lawful duties near his business premises.
Following the incident, Portable evaded initial arrest, leading the Ogun State Police Command to declare him wanted. He subsequently surrendered to the police in Lagos on February 19, 2025, and was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Prior to Portable’s arrest, nine of his associates were apprehended and arraigned on February 6, 2025, facing charges related to the assault. They were granted bail, each in the sum of N5 million, with sureties who must be licensed bondmen registered with the Ogun State government.
The court proceedings for Portable are ongoing, and further updates will be provided as the case develops.
