They say “a child who refuses to let his mother sleep will also know no sleep”.
This appears to be the case for controversial musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, whose ongoing clashes with the Ogun State Government have now placed him in serious trouble.
The Ogun State Police Command has officially declared the singer wanted over his alleged involvement in a violent attack on government officials.
According to a statement by the spokesperson for the police in Ogun State, CSP Omolola Odutola, Portable is accused of leading a gang of thugs to assault officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development while they were carrying out an enforcement exercise in Ota.
The drama unfolded when the officials encountered Portable’s father at a bar in the area and inquired about the singer’s whereabouts.
Also, his father claimed he was unavailable, but moments later, Portable allegedly stormed the scene.
He was armed with a gun and other dangerous weapons.
Police say he led an attack on the unsuspecting officials.
While nine of his accomplices have been arrested, Portable managed to escape and has since gone into hiding.
The police revealed that despite multiple invitations for him to report to the station, the singer refused to cooperate.
This prompted the authorities to obtain a court order declaring him wanted.
The police have now called on the public to assist in locating him.
Furthermore, they warned that anyone found harbouring or aiding him would face legal consequences.
