SocialMediaTrends: More on Portable’s travail & what Nigerians are saying about it

Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, got Nigerians talking as he was charged by the Ogun State Police Command with six assault-related offenses in the Ifo High Court on Monday morning.

Recall that the police had asked the ‘Zazoo Zehh’ crooner to turn himself in following allegations of assault.

According to Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, Portable was invited following a petition by a young studio owner who claimed that Portable together with his aides beat him to a stupor and locked his studio.

Ripples Nigeria gathered that the Zazu singer was granted bail for all three of the charges against him in the amount of N800,000. He also had two sureties posted bail in the same amount.

The two sureties, who must reside within the Ifo court’s jurisdiction, must also be landowners, according to a decision made by Magistrate A.S. Soneye.
