BREAKING: Portable turns self in in Lagos

After weeks of evading arrest, Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, the
music star popularly known as Portable, has finally surrendered to the police. Benjamin Hundeyin, the Lagos police spokesperson, revealed
that the singer walked into the State Criminal Investigations Department (SCID)
in Lagos on Wednesday morning. The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ hitmaker was declared wanted by the police
on February 18 in connection with an alleged assault on three officials from
the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA). The incident occurred on February 5, when the officials
attempted to seal Portable’s bar due to a lack of approved permits and
insufficient air space. Portable allegedly led a gang in a violent attack on the
unarmed officials, who sustained injuries but managed to escape. The altercation led to the arrest and arraignment of nine of
Portable’s associates on a five-count charge, including armed violence, felony,
obstruction, assault, and intent to kill. They were granted bail of N5 million each with sureties
licensed bond agents registered with the state government. The case was
adjourned until March 17 for further hearing. Portable had been on the run since February 5. He had also
made various excuses to evade arrest, including claiming to be a “madman”
undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Abeokuta. Benjamin also disclosed that they had contacted the Ogun
state police command to inform them of the development. He added Portable is expected to be transferred to Ogun for
further investigation and possible prosecution. Portable recently sought the assistance of Femi Falana, the
human rights lawyer. He had earlier pleaded with President Bola Tinubu to
intervene in the matter. He also asked Ogun governor Dapo Abiodun to forgive
him.
