Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been granted bail by the Isabo Magistrate Court in Abeokuta after being arraigned on multiple charges, including assault and obstruction of government officials.
Portable, who had earlier surrendered to the Lagos State Criminal Investigations Department on Wednesday following his declaration as wanted by the Ogun State Police Command, was later transferred to the state headquarters in Eleweran.
On Thursday, he was presented before the court to answer to a fivet charges that included conspiracy, assault, restriction, possession of weapons such as cutlasses and guns, and conduct likely to cause harm.
The singer pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His lawyer, Oluwatoyin Ayodele, appealed for bail, assuring the court that Portable “is now remorseful and has learnt his lessons.”
Magistrate O. L. Oke granted the singer bail in the sum of N2 million with one surety in like sum, while adjourning the case until March 5 for trial.
In addition to Portable, nine of his aides were also arraigned on similar charges.
The accused individuals—Nurudeen Warris (21), Adetola Alashe (25), Samuel Adeleke (28), Oluwaseun Ayenuwa (19), Oluwapelumi Adeosun (20), Gospel Kanu (20), Precious Ohiegebo (19), Ifeoluwa Babatunde (27), and Fatimo Muhammed (26)—faced charges of felony, assault, obstruction, and conduct likely to breach public peace.
The Ogun State Government had earlier condemned Portable’s alleged actions, labeling him a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal.”
The charges stemmed from an incident on February 5, 2025, in which Portable and his associates allegedly attacked three town planners; Abidemi Onabanjo, Ramon Lateef, and Akinpelumi Oyero, while they were carrying out their official duties at Odogwu Bar, owned by the singer, in the Sango area of Ogun State.
