A magistrate court in the Otta area of Ogun state has granted bail to controversial entertainer, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable.
The singer was subsequently arraigned in court on Monday.
Portable was granted bail in the sum of N300,000 and to provide two sureties with landed properties within the court vicinity.
The controversial singer resisted arrest last Wednesday when police officers were at his bar to arrest him.
The police said Portable exhibited irrational behavior and hurled insults at officers carrying out their legal duty, an action that is punishable by the laws of Nigeria.
Several videos of Portable narrating his encounter with police officers went viral on social media platforms.
“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,” police spokesman Muyiwa Adejobi said in a statement.
“The Police will not condone any unruly act, assault or attack on its officers who are on lawful duty. We need to respect our law enforcement agents who perpetually take the risk of maintaining law and order and fight crimes and criminality in our society.”
