The Ogun State Police Command arraigned singer Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, Monday, on six counts bordering on assault.
The “Zazu Zeh” crooner was arraigned at the Ifo High Court in Ogun State on Monday morning.
Policemen had on Thursday stormed Portable’s office and the singer had resisted arrest. He was subsequently taken into custody on Friday.
He noted that there are many pending cases of assaults on people and attacks, and Portable will be investigated because people have complained against him.
On Saturday, Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi said portable has more than six charges to attend to apart from resisting arrest and injuring a policeman.
“I am sure u are very awake as i have addressed MCs case, but portable has more than 6 count charges to attend to, apart from resisting arrest and injuring a policeman.
“He will be charged to court for beating up a guy in otta, who fired a petition to CP Ogun,” Adejobi tweeted.

TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that earlier on Tuesday, two videos surfaced on the Internet showing the musician raining curses and manhandling some police officers at his Odogu bar located in the Sango Ota area of Ogun State.
Following his alleged misconduct, the Force Headquarters in Abuja, through its spokesperson (CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi) on Wednesday, revealed that the singer’s action was unruly and his act punishable under the law.
This was immediately followed by a press statement by the spokesperson for the Ogun State Police Command, Oyeyemi, asking the singer to either turn himself in at any police station in the state within 72 hours, or face police arrest once the ultimatum elapsed.
However, in both videos, Portable claimed that an alleged Internet fraudster had brought the police officers to his bar to arrest him and his staff members “for no reason.”
