Portable Declared Wanted By Ogun Police Over Alleged Violent Attack On Govt Officials
However, shortly after, the singer allegedly arrived at the scene with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, leading a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials.
Abeokuta, Ogun State– The Ogun State Police Command has declared popular street-hop singer, Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, known as Portable, wanted over his alleged involvement in a violent attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.
In a statement on Monday, the Command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed that a valid court order had been issued for Portable’s arrest.
According to the statement, the incident occurred on February 5, 2025, at around 10:00 a.m. when officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office, were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.
The officials reportedly met an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar and requested an approved building plan. Portable’s father informed them that his son was unavailable.
However, shortly after, the singer allegedly arrived at the scene with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, leading a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials.
The officials sustained injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which escalated the matter to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.
The statement read, “Meanwhile, the 9 accomplices have been arrested, but Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.
“Multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters, Eleweran, Abeokuta, which he deliberately ignored without cause or legal representation.
“Following his repeated evasion, the Ogun State Police Command has obtained a valid court order declaring him wanted.
“Members of the public are strongly advised to assist the police by providing any valuable information that can lead to his immediate arrest.
She said, “Anyone found aiding or harbouring the suspect will face legal consequences.
“For any relevant information, kindly report to the nearest police station or contact the Ogun State Police Command through its official communication channels or police public relations department,” she added.
