Police in Ogun State has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to Habeeb Okikiola, alias Portable, a controversial Nigerian singer, to report himself.
The musician was in the public eye on Tuesday after a video of him lamenting that “Yahoo boy sent the police to arrest me”.
The 29-year-old also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.
Abimbola Oyeyemi, the state police spokesperson, said Portable was invited for questioning on five different occasions after a report was lodged against him.
Oyeyemi said the singer refused to honour the invitation. He said the police thereafter approached a court to get an arrest warrant for him.
“We have also sent an invitation to him through his father like two times, yet he did not show his face,” the police spokesperson had said.
The Ogun state police spokesperson said if the controversial singer does not surrender himself, the police will “go after him.”
