Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, popularly known as Portable, was on Thursday granted a bail in the sum of N2m by Magistrate O.L Oke of an Ogun State Magistrate Court sitting in Isabo, Abeokuta.
Portable, who was arraigned at the Isabo High Court in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capitcal, over alleged assault on government officials, met the bail condition
He knelt down to thank the magistrate before leaving the court premises.
The artiste was declared wanted by the police on February 18 in connection with an alleged assault on three officials from the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA).
He subsequently surrendered himself to the police in Lagos State on Wednesday.
He was handed over to the Ogun State Police Command and presented in court on Thursday to face charges.
The charges stemmed from an incident on February 5, 2025, when Portable allegedly led an attack on officials from OGPDPA during an enforcement exercise at his bar in the Sango Ota area.
The officials sustained injuries, and while nine of Portable’s associates were arrested, the singer evaded capture until his recent surrender.
The Ogun State Government has condemned Portable’s actions, describing him as a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal,” and insisted that he was wanted even after the singer claimed he was a psychiatric patient.
