Court Grants Portable N300k Bail, Adjourned Case Till April 26

Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has been granted bail by a High Court in Ifo, Ogun State.

KanyiDaily recalls that Portable landed in police custody on Friday, March 31, 2023, after his engagement with police officers at his bar, during which one of them was allegedly injured.

Portable was seen in a video resisting attempts by the police to arrest him and also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.

The singer claimed that an internet fraudster brought the police to his bar to arrest his staff members “for no reason”, but the police noted that it acted on a petition.

Portable was arrested on Friday, March 31, following the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to honour police invitations extended to him five times.

The singer was subsequently before the Ifo magistrate court in Ogun on Monday, April 3, on three count charges bordering on assault and theft of musical equipment.

The court granted him bail of N300, 000 with two sureties in like sum. The court ruled that two sureties must have landed properties within the vicinity of the court.

The magistrate ruled that Portable will remain at the Ilaro correctional center until he perfects the condition of his bail. The case has been adjourned to April 26.

KanyiDaily recalls that Portable described the police as his friend, saying he believes that the force will carry out their investigations and everything will be done appropriately.
