Portable Surrenders to Lagos Police After Ogun Warrant Issued

 Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, has turned himself in to the Lagos State Police Command, following a warrant issued for his arrest by the Ogun State Police. This development comes after Portable was declared wanted in Ogun State for allegedly assaulting officials of a power distribution company (DisCo). 

The controversial artist’s surrender in Lagos, rather than Ogun, suggests a strategic move, perhaps seeking legal counsel or a perceived degree of safety within the Lagos jurisdiction. It is important to note that the warrant issued is from Ogun state, therefore he will most likely be transferred.

The Ogun State Police Command had previously released a video showing the alleged assault, which fueled public outrage and led to the warrant. The incident reportedly occurred in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State. Portable’s actions were condemned by the police as “barbaric and unacceptable.”
