Popular singer, Habeeb Okikiola, commonly called Portable, has been arrested by operatives of the Ogun State Police Command.
The controversial singer was arrested following the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum given to him to report himself to the command.
Recall that the Ogun State Police Command has issued a 72-hour ultimatum for the sensational singer to report himself to the nearest police station or be arrested by Friday, in a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, on Wednesday.
Oyeyemi said Portable had been informed to submit himself to the police or risk being arrested.
Also, the controversial singer’s father was said to have pleaded on his son’s behalf and promised to bring him to the station.

NIGERIACRIME reported that the Nigeria Police Force vowed to prosecute Portable for “exhibiting irrational behaviour and hurling insults at officers on legal duty.”
The statement was made by force spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Wednesday.
Mr Adejobi said this followed a viral video where the musician hurled insults at police officers carrying out their legal duty.
He said his action was criminal and punishable by the criminal laws of Nigeria.
“The action of the singer in the video was unruly and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and incitement of violence against the officers.
“The officers were detailed to execute a warrant of arrest on him for a series of allegations of criminal acts levelled against him.
“The Nigeria Police Force will take all necessary steps to investigate his actions and ensure that he is prosecuted for any criminal activity he may have committed depending on the severity of the offence,” he said.
