The Ogun State Police Command on Thursday announced that hip-hop artist Habib Okikiola otherwise known as Portable, the popular Zazu crooner, has reported himself to the police over an assault allegation.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Abimbola Oyeyemi, said that Portable reported himself at the nearest police station over a viral video where he was seen ordering a group of boys to beat up one boy simply identified as D.J Chicken.
The image maker added that Portable reported at the Command’s Headquarters Eleweran on Wednesday 29th of June 2022.
Oyeyemi said: “The artist reported at Eleweran at about 5:PM with his father and manager. He was immediately ordered to be taken to the public complaint bureau office by the commissioner of police, CP Lanre Bankole, where he was interrogated about his role in the assault meted out to the boy in the video. However, since the offence committed is a bailable one, and coupled with the strike action embarked upon by the civil servants in the state which also affected our courts, the suspect was released to a reliable surety who promised to produce him anytime he is needed. The assaulted victim has also been invited to come and state his own side of the story to enable the command to complete her investigation on time.”
