The Ogun State Police Command has on Monday, 20th June, 2022 ordered Portable to report himself immediately to the nearest police station or be arrested.
This is following a case of alleged assault on his former DJ who was simply identified as DJ Chicken.
In a video which has now gone viral on social media, Portable and his boys were seen assaulting the DJ. Portable had in the video ordered his boys to beat up the DJ for sending a message to his wife.
However, in reaction to the incident, the police spokesman ordered Portable to report himself or face the wrath of the police. In his statement, he described the act as barbaric.
The statement read, “The attention of Ogun State Police Command has been drawn to a video clip circulating on social media where a popular hip-hop musician Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a Portable, the Zazu crooner was seen organising some youths to beat up a young man and inflict bodily injury on him.”
“The incident was said to have taken place somewhere within Ogun State about two days ago. Such unruly and violent behavior is not only barbaric, but unbecoming of somebody who is supposed to be a role model for the youths and therefore should not be tolerated.”
“In view of this, the Command is using this medium to advise Okikiola Habeeb a.k.a Portable to report himself at the nearest police station in Ogun State, failure of which his arrest will be ordered.”
“The flagrant display of impunity by portable in the viral video is condemnable and if not checked, it will send a wrong signal to the youths who are looking up to him as a role model.”
“Jungle justice has no place in our laws and whoever embarked on it must be made to feel the weight of the law, no matter the status of such a person.”
