Just In: Controversial Musician, Portable Arrested After 72-Hour Ultimatum
Following the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum given to the famous Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, to turn himself in, the Ogun State police command has arrested the singer for refusing to honour the invitation.
On Tuesday, two videos of the musician raining curses and rough-handling some men of the Nigeria police trended the internet.
Displeased by the conduct of Mr. Okikiola toward the officers, the police gave a 72-hour ultimatum to the singer, a request that should elapse today, Friday.
The police who condemned the singer’s actions also threatened to prosecute him.
In the two videos, Portable claimed that an internet fraudster had brought the police to his bar to arrest staff members “for no reason.” But the police noted that it acted on a petition.
The Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, has however confirmed that the singer has been arrested and currently cooling his feet at the state headquarters of the police in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
Mr. Oyeyemi further said the Zazu crooner was arrested after refusing five invitations.
