Ogun State Police Issue Warrant for Portable Over Violent Assault Allegations

Ogun State Police Declare Controversial Singer Portable Wanted for Leading Violent Assault on Government Officials

The Ogun State Police Command has declared Habeeb Olalomi, popularly known as Portable, wanted for allegedly leading a violent attack on government officials in the Ota area of the state.

In a statement issued Monday, the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, confirmed that Portable, accompanied by nine armed thugs, launched the attack during an enforcement exercise conducted by the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development on February 5, 2025.

The three officials – TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi – were conducting lawful enforcement duties at Odogwu Bar, a property associated with Portable, in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.

Upon arrival, the officials met Portable’s father and requested to see the property’s approved building plan. While waiting for further information, Portable reportedly stormed the premises wielding firearms and dangerous weapons. The officials were violently assaulted but managed to flee and later reported the incident to the Ota Area Command.

Police Launch Manhunt as Portable Evades Arrest

Odutola revealed that the case was immediately referred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further action. While nine of Portable’s accomplices were arrested, the singer fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.

Despite multiple formal invitations to appear at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters in Abeokuta, Portable reportedly ignored all attempts to contact him.

“Following his repeated evasion, the Ogun State Police Command has obtained a valid court order declaring him wanted,” the police spokesperson confirmed.

Authorities are now urging the public to come forward with any information that may lead to Portable’s arrest. “Anyone found aiding or harbouring the suspect will face legal consequences,” the police warned, encouraging citizens to report tips through official communication channels or their nearest police station.

Court Proceedings Against Portable’s Accomplices

The development comes two weeks after nine of Portable’s associates were arraigned before the Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta. The accused – Nurudeen Warris (21), Adetola Alashe (25), Samuel Adeleke (28), Oluwaseun Ayenuwa (19), Oluwapelumi Adeosun (20), Gospel Kanu (20), Precious Ohiegebo (19), Ifeoluwa Babatunde (27), and Fatimo Muhammed (26) – were charged with multiple criminal offences, including felony, assault, unlawful restriction, possession of dangerous weapons, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.

According to police prosecutor Sunday Ekong, the accused, alongside Portable, allegedly assaulted and obstructed the officials during their enforcement duties. Ekong stated that the group was armed with dangerous weapons and caused a public disturbance.

The offences were said to have violated Sections 516, 356(3), 80, 249(d), and 320 of the Criminal Code Laws of Ogun State, 2006.

Bail Granted Amid Tight Conditions

Presiding Magistrate O.M. Somefun granted each defendant bail set at N5 million, with sureties of the same sum. The magistrate specified that the sureties must be licensed bondsmen registered with the Ogun State Government.

The case has been adjourned until March 17, 2025, for hearing.

The Ogun State Police Command has vowed to apprehend Portable and ensure justice is served. Citizens remain on high alert as tensions surrounding the incident continue to escalate.
