Portable may face prosecution over unruly conduct, says police

The Nigeria Police high command has condemned the actions of one Habeeb Okikiola popularly known ‘Portable’, in a viral video.

Portable, according to the police, exhibited irrational behavior and hurled insults at officers carrying out their legal duty, an action that is punishable by the laws of Nigeria.

According to national police spokesman, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, the action of the singer is likely to cause a breach of peace and incitement of violence against the officers who were detailed to execute a warrant of arrest on him for series of allegations of criminal acts leveled against Mr Portable.

“The NPF 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 offense,” Adejobi said.

“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 fight crimes and criminality in our society.”
