Following the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum given to the famous singer, Habeeb Okikiola, commonly called Portable, to turn himself in, the Ogun State Police Command has arrested the singer for refusing to honour the invitation.

Per Seconds News had reported that a brawl ensued on Tuesday between Portable and some men of the Nigeria police who attempted to arrest the singer but to no avail.

Displeased by the conduct of Mr Okikiola toward the officers, the police gave a 72-hour ultimatum to the singer, a request that should elapse today, Friday.

The police, who condemned the singer’s actions also threatened to prosecute him.

In another video, Portable claimed that an internet fraudster had brought the police to his bar to arrest staff members “for no reason.”

But the police said it acted on a petition.

Contacted over the phone on Friday, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the singer’s arres and that he is currently cooling his feet at the state police headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta.

Oyeyemi said the Zazu crooner was arrested after refusing five invitations.
