The Ogun State Police Command has declared popular singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as “Portable,” wanted after the alleged assault on government officials.
According to a press statement by the Ogun State Police Command, the incident happened on February 5, 2025.
Officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development were carrying out an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu, Ota, when the alleged attack took place.
The statement reads,
“On February 5, 2025, at about 1000hrs, officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, including TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi, were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, when they encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area.
Upon identifying themselves and requesting the approved building plan, the father informed them that his son was unavailable.”
The press release continued,
“However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials.”
The statement also stated that Nine accomplices were arrested, but Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.
“Multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, which he deliberately ignored without cause or legal representation.
The Ogun State Police Command has, therefore, obtained a valid court order declaring him wanted”.
The Ogun State Police Command is advising the public to provide any valuable information that could lead to Portable’s arrest.
Anyone found aiding or harboring the suspect will face legal consequences.
