A Magistrate Court sitting in the Ifo area of Ogun State has sentenced controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, to three months imprisonment for assault and theft.
This followed the singer’s arraignment by the Ogun State Police Command.
Portable was first arraigned in April 2023 but was re-arrested last week after failing to appear in court. He had earlier been granted bail of N300,000 with two sureties.
The police prosecutor, Inspector Olumide Awoleke, told the court that Portable committed the offences at Okeosa in the Ilogbo area of Ogun State on November 18, 2022.
The charge sheet read: “That you, Badmus Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a.
