Portable Speaks After Release From Prison

Popular street sensation, Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has reacted following his release from prison.

Naija News had earlier reported that the controversial singer was detained at the Ilaro Prison in Ogun State on Monday after being granted bail.

The state police command had brought Portable before the court on a five-count charge bordering on assault and stealing.

A magistrate’s court sitting in the Ifo Local government area of Ogun state granted him bail but remanded him pending the perfection of the bail conditions.

Magistrate A.S Soneye said, the offences are bailable and granted him bail with a bond of N300,000, two sureties who must reside within the jurisdiction of the honourable court.

Hours after his detention in prison, Portable was released having met his bail conditions.

Speaking following his release, the singer said he has learnt his lesson.

The singer in a video circulating online, while in the midst of his loved ones in a car, said: “Akoi grace. I have learnt a lesson. I have learnt a real lesson.”

Recall that the singer was arrested on Friday following a petition written by one Osimusi Emmanuel.

Portable who was brought before the court on Monday pleaded not guilty to all the charges preferred against him.

The singer was granted bail and the case was adjourned to the 26th of April for the commencement of trial.
