Portable declared wanted

Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, known as Portable, has been declared wanted by the Ogun State Government over a recent violent clash.

The Ogun State Government has officially declared him wanted following a violent incident at his Odogwu Bar in Ogun State.

Assault on government officials

The trouble began when officials from the Ogun State Government visited Portable’s bar to issue a warning regarding his uncompleted buildings.

According to reports, the structures posed safety concerns, prompting authorities to take action. However, the situation quickly escalated.

Portable and his associates allegedly attacked the government officials, preventing them from carrying out their duties.

Witnesses claim the officials were harassed and manhandled by the singer’s entourage. The confrontation forced the government team to leave the premises without completing their inspection.

Government response and arrests

Following the incident, the Ogun State Police Command acted swiftly. Law enforcement authorities arrested several members of Portable’s group for their involvement in the assault. However, Portable himself managed to evade arrest.

Police sources revealed that efforts were made to locate the singer, but he fled before officers could apprehend him. His sudden disappearance has now led to an official declaration from the Ogun State Police Command.

Official warrant issued

On February 17, 2025, the Ogun State Government took to its official X (formerly Twitter) handle to issue a public announcement. The statement confirmed that a court order had been obtained, authorizing Portable’s arrest.

The message read:

“PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: OGUN POLICE COMMAND DECLARES HABEEB OKIKIOLA (AKA ‘PORTABLE’) WANTED.

…Valid Court Order Issued for His Arrest and Presentation at Any Police Station.”

The statement emphasized that Portable must report to any nearby police station immediately. Authorities also warned that anyone found harboring the singer would face legal consequences.

Singer’s troubled history

This is not the first time Portable has found himself in trouble with the law. The controversial artist has built a reputation for stirring controversy, often clashing with law enforcement and public officials.

In the past, he has been involved in multiple altercations, including public outbursts and accusations of violence. His social media antics, which frequently involve confrontations with critics and authorities, have only added to his notoriety.

Police on high alert

With Portable still at large, the Ogun State Police Command has intensified efforts to track him down. Officers have been deployed to strategic locations, and surveillance measures have been increased.

A police spokesperson urged the public to assist in locating the singer. They encouraged anyone with information about his whereabouts to report to the nearest police station. The authorities assured that all legal procedures would be followed in bringing Portable to justice.

What’s next for Portable?

As the search for Portable continues, legal experts suggest that his refusal to turn himself in could lead to more severe charges. If arrested, he may face prosecution for assault, obstruction of government duties, and evading arrest.

Fans and industry observers are watching closely to see how the situation unfolds. While some of his supporters believe he is being unfairly targeted, others argue that his repeated brushes with the law could damage his career permanently.

For now, the Ogun State Government remains firm in its stance. Officials have made it clear that no one is above the law, regardless of their celebrity status.

Conclusion

His latest controversy has once again placed him in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. With an arrest warrant now in place, the coming days will determine whether he chooses to surrender or continue evading authorities. One thing is certain—law enforcement is determined to bring him to justice.
