Portable is no stranger to controversy, but this time, things have escalated beyond viral social media moments and industry beef. The Nigeria Police Force has declared the singer, Habeeb Okikiola, wanted for allegedly leading a violent attack on government officials in Ogun State. The shocking incident, which took place on February 5, 2025, has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the growing culture of lawlessness. Reports say officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development were carrying out an enforcement exercise when Portable and his gang allegedly attacked them, leaving several injured and forcing them to flee for their safety.
The police aren’t taking this lightly, having secured a valid court order for his arrest on charges of conspiracy, serious assault, going armed, conduct likely to cause a breach of peace, and even attempted murder. If caught and convicted, the consequences could be severe. Authorities have also made it clear that anyone found helping or hiding Portable will face legal action. This latest episode in his long list of controversies has left many questioning whether he has finally crossed the line from being an industry troublemaker to a genuine public menace.
As expected, the news has reignited debates about celebrity influence and responsibility. While some argue that Portable, as a public figure, should be held to higher standards, others insist that musicians are just human and shouldn’t be expected to be role models. But beyond the conversation about his personal conduct, the bigger issue is the rising trend of impunity and violence in the country. If a high-profile figure can allegedly attack government officials without fear, what message does that send to the public?
For now, the search is on, and the pressure is mounting. Will Portable turn himself in, or will this unfold into yet another dramatic chapter in his already controversial career? Either way, the law is catching up, and this time, it looks like the consequences might be more than just another headline.
