The Ogun State Police Command has confirmed that controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has reported to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Abeokuta.

Portable was handed over to the Ogun State Police Command by the Lagos State Police Criminal Investigation Department, where he had voluntarily turned himself in earlier on Wednesday.

Confirming his arrival, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, issued a statement in Abeokuta.

“We wish to inform the public that Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, arrived at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, Abeokuta, at exactly 13:23 hours today, 19th February 2025.”

Portable was declared wanted by the police after allegedly leading a violent attack on three Ogun State government officials who were carrying out an enforcement exercise at his bar in the Sango area of the state.

“His presence at the State Criminal Investigation Department is in connection with an ongoing investigation. The Command assures the public that due process will be followed in handling this matter, and updates will be provided as necessary,” the police statement read.

The Command urged members of the public to remain calm and refrain from spreading unverified information, emphasising its commitment to justice and maintaining public order.

Portable was officially declared wanted on Monday night through a police gazette.

According to the police, the incident occurred on 5th February 2025, at around 10:00 a.m., when three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were conducting an enforcement operation at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu, Ota.

During the exercise, the officials encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar, a property linked to the singer. Upon requesting to see the building’s approved plan, Portable’s father informed them that his son was unavailable.

However, moments later, Portable allegedly arrived at the scene armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, leading a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials. The enforcement officers sustained multiple injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which later escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.
