The Ogun State Police Command has officially declared popular Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, wanted following a violent assault on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.
According to police reports, the incident occurred on February 5, 2025, at approximately 10:00 AM, when officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office—identified as TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were conducting an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.
During the operation, the officials requested an approved building plan from an elderly man at Odogwu Bar, later identified as Portable’s father. However, shortly after, Portable allegedly arrived at the scene with a firearm and a gang of nine men, launching a violent attack on the government workers. The unarmed officials sustained injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the authorities.
Following investigations, nine of Portable’s alleged accomplices were arrested, but the singer fled and has remained in hiding. The police revealed that multiple invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, but he deliberately ignored them without legal representation.
With Portable continuously evading arrest, the Ogun State Police Command has obtained a court order declaring him wanted.
The police have urged members of the public to provide any information that could lead to Portable’s immediate arrest. Authorities have also warned that anyone found aiding or harboring the fugitive will face legal consequences.
For any relevant information, the public is advised to report to the nearest police station or contact the Ogun State Police Command through its official channels.
