The Ogun State Police Command has arrested controversial musician Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, again, and ordered an investigation into a viral video showing his alleged assault while in custody.
The Command’s Public Relations Officer, Mr Oluseyi Babaseyi who confirmed the arrest, said Portable was currently being detained by the police, but described the actions seen in the circulating video as unacceptable and contrary to police standards.
Mr Babaseyi condemned the alleged beating of the handcuffed suspect and the filming of suspects in custody, stressing that the police do not permit such conduct under any circumstance.
The police spokesperson assured that the Command had ordered a full investigation into the incident captured in the video, adding that appropriate action would be taken against any personnel found culpable.
Although the reason for Portable’s arrest was yet to be disclosed as at the time of filing this report, it would be recalled that he was recently involved in a violent scuffle with one of his wives and other family members.
