The Police High Command, yesterday, said it will prosecute Nigerian musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known by his stage name, Portable, for unruly behaviour.
Spokesperson for the Command, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, condemned the singer, who was seen in a viral video, exhibiting irrational behaviour and hurling insults at police officers who came to arrest him.
Adejobi said: “The action of the singer in the video was unruly and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and incitement of violence against the officers who were detailed to execute warrant of arrest on him for series of allegations of criminal acts levelled against Mr. Portable.

“The Nigeria Police Force will take all necessary steps to investigate his actions and ensure that he is prosecuted for any criminal activity he may have committed depending on the severity of the offence.
“The Police will not condone any unruly act, assault or attack on its officers, who are on lawful duty. We need to respect our law enforcement agents, who perpetually take the risk of maintaining law and order, and fighting crimes and criminality in our society,” Adejobi added.
