Popular Nigerian Singer, Habeeb Okikiola aka portable has been granted a 300,000 naira by magistrate court sitting in Ifo, Ifo local government in Ogun State.
Portable was arraigned by the Ogun State police command on a three-count Count charge bothering on assault and musical equipment theft.
The singer who was arraigned by the court on the morning of April 3, 2023 was granted bail by the presiding magistrate of the court today.
The Zazuuu Crooner was granted of 300,000 Naira with two sureties from his immediate family.
He was asked to meet his bail conditions before leaving the court premises.
Recall that Portable was arrested by the Ogun State police command on Friday, March 31st , 2023 after refusing to honour their several invitations.
The singer was arrested after he challenged and fought police officers who came to arrest him on March 28, 2023.
The singer’s live video where he was challenging the police officers went viral which prompted the Ogun State police command to give the singer a 72 hours ultimatum which he also refused to honour.
On Saturday, Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said portable has more than six charges to attend to, apart from resisting arrest and injuring a policeman.
“He will be charged to court for beating up a guy in Ota, who filed a petition to CP Ogun,” Adejobi tweeted.
“There are many pending cases of assaults on people and attacks, and he will be investigated because people have complained against him”.
“So, there is no sentiment in law, let him appear in court, and allow the judge to listen to the charges against him. He has no constitutional immunity anyway.”
The singer argued that his arrest was “unwarranted,” adding that he makes his money “legitimately.”
Portable’s case was however adjourned for another hearing on April 26, 2023.
