Wanted! Singer Portable on the Run for Alleged Assault on Ogun Govt Officials

 

The Ogun State Police Command has officially declared Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi, popularly known as "Portable", wanted for his alleged involvement in a violent attack on government officials carrying out their lawful duties.

According to a statement by the command’s spokesperson, SP Omolola Odutola, the incident took place on February 5, 2025, at around 10:00 AM, when officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.

During their operation, they encountered an elderly man at Odogwu Bar, who was later identified as Portable’s father. When the officials requested an approved building plan, he informed them that his son was not available.

Shortly after, Portable allegedly arrived armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, leading a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the officials. The victims sustained bodily injuries but managed to escape and report the incident to the Ota Area Command, which escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.

While nine of his alleged accomplices were arrested, Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding. The police claim that multiple formal invitations were sent to him, requesting his presence at the Ogun State Police Command Headquarters in Abeokuta, but he has deliberately ignored them without offering any legal representation.

With his continued evasion, the police have now obtained a valid court order declaring Portable wanted.

The Ogun State Police Command has urged the public to assist in locating the fugitive.

"Anyone found aiding or harboring the suspect will face legal consequences," the police warned.
