Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has vowed to stay out of trouble and focus on making money after securing bail. The controversial artist made this declaration in a video posted on social media shortly after his release.
Portable was granted bail by an Ogun State Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta, on Thursday. The court set his bail at N2 million after he pleaded not guilty to a five-count charge, including conspiracy, assault, possession of weapons, and disorderly conduct.
The charges were brought against him by the Ogun State police command following an alleged altercation with three officials of the Ogun Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA).
Reports state that Portable was arrested for allegedly attacking the officials during an enforcement operation. The authorities claimed that the singer and his associates resisted their attempt to carry out their duties, leading to a confrontation. Following his arrest and court appearance, he was granted bail under certain conditions.
After his release, Portable took to social media to share his thoughts and gratitude. In the video, he expressed appreciation for his supporters and declared his intention to prioritize financial success. “My fans, thank God for everything. If you have God, you have everything,” he said. “I need money. I am not looking for trouble anymore. I’m now focused on making money. I have N2 million bail debt. I need more money. I am looking for money.”
