Nigerian street-hop sensation, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is back in the headlines — and this time, it’s not for his music.
In a dramatic turn of events, a Chief Magistrate Court in Ifo, Ogun State, has sentenced the controversial singer to three months in prison following his altercation with police officers during an incident in November 2022 at Okeosa, Ilogbo. But here’s where it gets interesting: he was given the option to pay a fine of ₦30,000 instead of serving jail time.
This development stems from Portable’s earlier charges of assault and resisting arrest, incidents that left many Nigerians questioning the limits of celebrity behavior and the strength of the legal system. It’s not his first legal tangle either — just last year, he faced multiple charges including theft, and was briefly held in custody at the Ilaro Correctional Centre.
Reactions online have been explosive. Some fans believe the sentence was long overdue, while others see the fine as too lenient for the gravity of his actions.
So what does this mean for Portable’s career and public image? Could this be a wake-up call or just another chapter in his turbulent rise to fame?
Stay tuned for updates as more details unfold.
