Posted by The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has decided to prosecute Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, for allegedly acting irrationally toward police officers assigned to carry out their official duties.
According to the police, insults allegedly hurled at officers who were on duty and recorded in a popular video are illegal acts that are punishable under Nigerian law.
The singer in the video was acting in an unruly manner, according to FPRO officer CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who made this statement in a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja.
Adejobi went on to say that the behavior was likely to result in a breach of the peace and an incitement of violence against the officers who were designated to carry out an arrest warrant on him due to a number of criminal accusations made against Mr. Portable.
In his words,.
“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 offence.
“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”.
