Portable appears in court with controversial covered mask & coloured outfit over assault on Ogun Govt officials
Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, popularly known as Portable, has been arraigned at the Isabo high court in Abeokuta, Ogun State.
Agenda Papers reports that Portable, who surrendered himself to the police in Lagos on Wednesday, was handed over to the Ogun state police command and presented in court on Thursday to face charges.
In the photo shared online, Portable was seen wearing a mask on his head alongside security operatives.
Recall that Portable was declared wanted after he was reportedly involved in a violent altercation with Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development officials.
The altercation occurred when Portable allegedly confronted three town planning officials—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—who were conducting an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
According to the officials, they were first approached by an elderly man who later turned out to be Portable’s father.
The father informed the officials that his son was unavailable when asked for the approved building plan.
However, moments later, Portable appeared at the scene, armed with a firearm and other weapons, leading a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the officials.
The officials sustained injuries but managed to escape and report the incident to the police.
The case was escalated to the State Criminal Investigation Department, and while nine accomplices were arrested, Portable fled the scene and has been in hiding since.
In response to the declaration, Portable took to Instagram, making several claims regarding the incident.
He expressed his fear of the government, alleging that he had been set up due to wearing a vest with the image of Senator Adeola Solomon, known as Yayi.
