Nigerian singer Portable, whose real name is Habeeb Okikiola, has turned himself in to the police after being declared wanted for allegedly assaulting government officials. The incident occurred on February 5, 2025, during an enforcement operation in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, where Portable and his associates reportedly attacked the officials, leading to injuries.
Portable had evaded capture despite multiple summonses, prompting the Ogun State Police Command to obtain a court order declaring him wanted on February 17, 2025. However, on February 19, 2025, he surrendered to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Panti, Yaba, Lagos, and was subsequently transferred to the Ogun State Police Command for further investigation.
The police have assured the public that due process will be followed in handling the matter. A video of Portable’s surrender has gone viral, sparking outrage and humorous comments online, with many suggesting that his blue outfit resembled a prison uniform.
