The legal woes of controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, have taken a dramatic turn. Following a recent court appearance, reports have emerged that the "Zazu" crooner has been transferred to the Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre after being denied bail.
According to a detailed report by Gist TV Yoruba, the singer is currently facing a five-count charge brought against him by the authorities.
A Night in Custody: The Court’s Decision
The news of Portable's transfer sent shockwaves through social media on Tuesday. While fans had hoped for a quick release, the court’s decision to deny bail suggests the gravity of the charges leveled against him.
While the specific details of every charge have not been fully publicized, sources indicate they range from alleged assault to conduct likely to cause a breach of peace—issues that have frequently trailed the singer’s career over the last year.
From Fame to the Prison Yard
Portable, who rose to stardom with his hit single "Zazu Zeh," has become as famous for his frequent brushes with the law as he is for his music. However, this latest development marks one of his most serious legal challenges to date.
The transfer to Kirikiri Prison signifies a formal commencement of his remand period as the legal proceedings continue. Supporters of the singer have expressed concerns online, while others argue that this serves as a necessary lesson in accountability.
What’s Next for Portable?
As it stands, Portable will remain in custody until his next scheduled court date. His legal team is expected to file fresh applications to secure his release, but for now, the "Street Pop" star will have to swap the stage for a prison cell.
The Nigerian music industry continues to watch closely as this story develops. Will Portable be able to navigate this legal storm, or is this the beginning of a long hiatus for the energetic performer?
