Portable Arraigned In Court

Published

on

Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was on Monday arraigned before the Federal High Court sitting in Ota, Ogun State, over multiple criminal allegations including assault, theft, causing bodily harm and resisting arrest.

The singer is facing a nine-count charge, according to the Ogun State Police Command. Confirming the development, the state police spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the charges stem from a series of incidents involving the artiste, notably an alleged assault on his estranged partner, Ashabi Simple, and other individuals.

Portable’s court appearance followed the circulation of a viral video on Sunday showing him in police custody. The video was reportedly connected to a complaint lodged by Ashabi Simple, who accused the singer of physically assaulting her.

Prosecutors told the court that the alleged incident occurred on New Year’s Day at Portable’s bar located in the Iyana Ilogbo area of Ogun State, where he was said to have attacked Ashabi, several police officers, and other individuals.

In addition to the assault allegations, Portable was accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300 valued at ₦12 million. The vehicle reportedly belongs to one Ileyemi Damilola and was allegedly obtained from Wally Dex Auto under questionable circumstances.

Other alleged victims listed in the charge include Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi and Ebuka Odah.

During the proceedings, siblings of Ashabi Simple testified before the court as witnesses to the alleged assault, although the complainant herself was absent. The police also accused Portable of obstructing and assaulting a female police officer, Inspector Ogungbe Olayemi, while she was performing her official duties.

After listening to the testimonies, the presiding judge declined to grant the singer bail, citing the absence of the police officer who was allegedly assaulted. The court ruled that the officer must appear before any decision on bail could be made.

Consequently, Portable was remanded in custody, while the court adjourned the matter to January 19 for a fresh bail hearing.

Meanwhile, the Ogun State Police Command has ordered an investigation into a separate viral video showing the singer allegedly being assaulted while in police custody. Authorities say the probe is ongoing as efforts continue to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident.

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
