Ogun State police command, on Tuesday, revealed plans to use
minimum force to arrest popular, controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, a.k.a
Portable.
Recall that Portable had earlier on Tuesday, in a viral
video on social media, resisted arrest by some police officers that stormed his
restaurant in Ogun State, challenging them to know the reason for his arrest.
Portable was seen in the video accusing the police of
illegal arrest.
”Show me your arrest warrant. Why did you come to my office
to arrest people? You came and everyone was running. A yahoo boy sent police to
arrest me just because I advised him to stop doing yahoo and vent into music.
”Are the police and Yahoo boys now working together? I don’t
do Yahoo. I’m a musician. If you want to invite me to your station, you will
invite me with money,” he said.
Confirming the incident, the state police spokesperson,
Abimbola Oyeyemi, explained that the singer had refused to honour the police invitation
on five occasions.
“We have also sent an invitation to him through his father
twice for questioning after a report was lodged against him. The police
approached a court to get an arrest warrant for him following his refusal to
honour the invitation. On sighting the police, Portable stripped himself naked
so as to create a scene.
“Portable is not bigger than the law. We are going to use
minimum force to arrest him,” he stated.
