Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, otherwise known as Portable, has broken his silence after he was granted bail by a magistrate court sitting in Ifo, Ifo local government area of Ogun State.
It was earlier reported that the Zazu singer landed in police custody on Friday, March 31, 2023, after an intense drama with police officers at his bar on Thursday.
He was subsequently arraigned in court this morning, April 3, on a three-count charge bordering on assault and theft of musical equipment.
Portable’s counsel, Adodo Destiny, had prayed the court to grant the defendant bail.
Delivering his ruling on an application for bail made by his counsel, Magistrate A.S. Shoneye said the offenses were bailable. The court granted portable bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties in the same amount. The court ruled that both sureties must have landed properties near the court.
The court, however, ruled that Portable be transferred to the Ilaro Correctional Center, pending the time his bail requirements are met.
Shorty after the court ruling new photos of the singer were shared on his Instagram page with a caption expressing gratitude to God.
“Alhamdulilahi.” He captioned the photos.
