Why I beat up man that brought police to arrest me – Portable

 Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly
known as Portable, has opened up about what transpired between him and an
alleged internet fraudster who brought the police to arrest him recently.

 

Recall that the ‘Zazoo’ crooner made headlines after he was
captured in a viral video lambasting some officers who stormed his bar in the
Sanga Ota area of Ogun State to arrest him.

 

The singer resisted arrest, boasting that he was a superstar
and worked for the ruling party. And consequently, the Ogun State Police
Command on Wednesday gave him a 72-hour ultimatum to report himself to the
nearest police station before Friday or prepare for arrest.

 

However, in a new video shared on his Tiktok page, Portable
maintained that what transpired between him and the complainant was none of the
police’s business.

 

He explained that the petitioner was his apprentice and was
into internet fraud against his advice.

 

He said he disciplined the ex-worker after he refused to
change his ways and sacked him.

 

Portable added that the ex-worker went to the police station
and filed a case of assault against him for merely correcting him.

 

Speaking in a mix of Pidgin English and Yoruba, the singer
said, “That boy wey I beat, he’s my boy. I’m a boss to him. Oga go beat
apprentice na? That one no mean say make Police come say make dem come arrest
you.”

 

“This boy is my boy. He’s into Yahoo [Internet fraud]. I
advised him to quit but he still dey do the scam dey go. Then I pursued him. I
beat him. I flogged him. Now you want to arrest me because of I flogged him? He
come to write a petition about me, about a celebrity superstar. He’s a Yahoo
boy. Yahoo boy came to lay a complaint. He write petition about superstar
celebrity. My work is legit. I do music for a living. I no fear anybody, na
only God I fear,” he added.
