The Ogun State Police Command has ordered musician Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable to report to any of the state’s stations or face arrest after a video clip circulating on social media showed the singer ordering other youths to beat up and inflict bodily harm on a young man.
According to a statement issued by the state police command’s spokesperson, the incident occurred roughly two days ago somewhere in Ogun State.
“Such unruly and violent behavior is not only barbaric, but unbecoming of somebody who supposed to be a role model for the youths and therefore should not be tolerated.
In view of this, the Command is using this medium to advise Okikiola Habeeb a.k.a Portable to report himself at the nearest police station in Ogun State, failure of which his arrest will be ordered.
The flagrant display of impunity by portable in the viral video is condemnable and if not checked, it will send a wrong signal to the youths who are looking up to him as a role model.” the statement read
Jungle justice, according to Opeyemi, has no place in the law, and anyone who engages in it should be forced to experience the full force of the law, regardless of their status.
Portable told the young men to assault the victim for reaching out to his wife and advising him to send all the boys around him away, according to the footage.
