The state police command arraigned him on a five-count bordering on assault, among others.

He was accused of assaulting policemen who went to his bar for official duties.

Magistrate A.S Shoneye, while delivering his ruling on the application for bail by his counsel, Adodo Destiny, said the offences are bailable.

He ruled that the musician be granted bail with a bail bond of N300, 000, and two sureties who must reside within the jurisdiction of the court.

The magistrate, however, ruled that he be transferred to the Ilaro Correctional Centre, pending the time his bail conditions are met.

Portable has however perfected his bail conditions and left the correctional centre,

The musician had earlier pleaded not guilty to all the charges preferred against him.

Some of the counts read, “That you, Badmus Habeebat Okikiola, m, a.ka. Portable, and others now at large, on March 28, 2023, at 11am at Odogwu Bar, Oke-Osa, Ilogbo, Ifo in the Ifo Magisterial District did wilfully cause or inflict physical injury on one Inspector Hammed Moshood ‘m’ with your elbow on his nose which caused blood to gush out from his nose and thereby committed an offence contrary to and punishable under Section 4 (1) of the Violence Against Persons and Prohibition Laws of Ogun State of Nigeria, 2017.
