Portable celebrates 59 million views

Controversial Nigerian street-pop artist Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is set to release a new extended play (EP) inspired by his ongoing legal battle with the Ogun State government

 

This announcement comes just days after the singer was declared wanted by the police on charges of conspiracy, serious assault, armed violence, breach of public peace, and attempted murder over allegations of recruiting armed thugs.

After turning himself in at the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Yaba, Portable was transferred to the Ogun State Police headquarters.

He was later arraigned in court on a five-count charge, including conspiracy, assault, and wielding dangerous weapons like cutlasses and guns.

Though he pleaded not guilty, the court granted him bail set at ₦20 million, with strict conditions preventing him from discussing the case on social media. The trial is set to continue on 5th March.

Despite this restriction, Portable has found a creative way to share his side of the story — through music. The singer took to Instagram to tease his upcoming EP, *Ogo Wanted*, which appears to reference his legal troubles.

In his post, Portable claimed that his music earnings far outweigh those from internet fraud, known locally as “Yahoo Yahoo.”

“*OGO Wanted*. Music money pass Yahoo. Zeh Nation, many inspiration,” he wrote, sparking a wave of reactions from fans.

The announcement quickly went viral, with followers flooding his comment section with mixed reactions. One fan, @Dorck_i, called it an “emergency album,” while @Ayor_aad noted,
