The Nigeria Police Force has reacted to a viral video of singer Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable confronting some officers deployed to the recreational centre he owns in Ogun State.

In the video shared widely on Tuesday, Portable can be seen demanding an explanation for the officers’ presence, with the operatives notifying him that a petition was filed against him.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Wednesday, said the artist exhibited irrational behaviour and hurled insults at police officers carrying out their legal duty.

According to him, the action is criminal and punishable by the criminal laws of Nigeria.

“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 a warrant of arrest on him for series of allegations of criminal acts leveled against Mr Portable,” Adejobi said.

“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.”

So the NPF can still prosecute offenders, but musiliu akinsanya aka oluomo mc whose threats, resulted to injury, deaths and destruction was termed a joke by the same Olumuyiwa adejobi.
Mc olumo is still walking free and constituting a nuisance in lagos.

In a nation that works, the force PRO Olumuyiwa adejobi by now should be on suspension or should have put in his resignation.

Do we really have a country?
A tinubu presidency will dissolve Nigeria.

The new Nigeria must be born.

You took it out of my mouth

Not possible. Portable is the best musician ever from Yoruba.

The police should leave the guy abeg.

But that's not my concern at the moment.

The thing is, I do not know how Tinubu intend to balance this, but it is very likely that the president, vice president, senate president, speaker house of representatives, secretary to the government of the federation will all be muslims.

I wonder how Tinubu intend to balance this.

B

That guy should behaves like a psycho.
He forgot to take his drugs before leaving the house so I don't blame him at all

Not the first time we're hearing of such empty threats. Like play like play this guy just fade same way he blow.

Unruly behaviour indeed

Lagos is place where unruly behaviour will get you a medal

we are now in a world where the definition of law and prosecution seems opposite to the real meaning (Le me leave all this for another day)

This guy is a rogue, he does not need to be prosecuted, he needs Psychiatric Evaluation

He needs a lot of help to get better mentally
