Portable arraigned in Court over alleged assault
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has been arraigned before the Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun State.
Portable’s arraignment follows his recent altercation with officials of the Ogun State Ministry of Lands, an incident that led the state police command to declare him wanted. According to reports, the singer was accused of being involved in a violent attack on government personnel during an official duty.
