The operatives of the Ogun State Police Command have arrested popular singer, Habeeb Okikiola, well known as Portable.
The command’s spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the singer’s arrest on Friday, March 31.
Oyeyemi stated that the controversial musician was arrested after refusing five invitations.
Portable’s arrest is coming after the police gave a 72-hour ultimatum to the singer, which elapses today (Friday).
It was further gathered that the ‘Zazu’ crooner will remain in police custody till Monday when he will be charged in court.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) had earlier said it will prosecute Portable for allegedly exhibiting irrational behaviour and hurling insults at police officers on legal duty.
This came after the singer was involved in a clash with policemen at his bar in the Sango area of Ogun State.
The NPF, in a statement issued by the Force Force Spokesperson, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said Portable’s action was criminal and punishable by the criminal laws of Nigeria.
