Assault: Police Give Portable 72-hour Ultimatum To Report Himself

Nigerian musician, Habeeb Okikiola aka Portable has been given 72 hours to report to the Ogun State Police Command.
Police said failure to do that will result in his arrest.
The state’s Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the development in a statement on Wednesday.
Mr Oyeyemi said Portable had been informed to submit himself to the police or risk being arrested.
He also confirmed that Portable’s father had pleaded on his son’s behalf and promised to bring him to the station.
The PUNCH reports that two videos on Tuesday went viral showing the artiste cursing some officers of the  Force in Ogun state.
In the clip, Portable claimed that an internet fraudster had brought the police to his bar to arrest him and his staff members “for no reason”.
However, the Ogun state police spokesperson, Oyeyemi, explained that the police moved to arrest Portable after five invites were sent to him and another through his father, but he never honoured any of the summons.
He further said the Zazu crooner was invited following a petition by a young studio owner who claimed that Portable together with his aides beat him to stupor and locked his studio.
Oyeyemi said, “On receiving the petition, an invitation letter was sent to him five times but he refused to appear at the police station. Again, an invitation letter was sent to him through his father; he still did not come to the station.
 
“The police did not want a breakdown of law and order so his arrest was to be effected on Tuesday and now he started with all series of videos, saying all sorts of things. His father has been begging but we have told him that if he (Portable) refuses to turn himself in between now and Friday, he will be arrested.”
Meanwhile, The PUNCH reports that in 2022, Portable’s father had escorted him to the Police Headquarters at Eleweran, Abeokuta, after the singer refused to honour police invitation over alleged assault of a disc jockey in the Sango area of the state.

I Will Not Stop Dancing – Governor Adeleke Warns Critics

The Governor of Osun State, Senator Ademola Adeleke, has warned his critics that he will not stop dancing despite criticisms.
This is as he revealed his childhood dream of becoming an entertain.
In an interview with News Central Africa, Governor Adeleke said he couldn’t achieve his dream because his father forced him to pursue an academic career.
He said: “Music makes me feel so good. I love music. I love dancing. In fact, I was supposed to be in the entertainment business. During the time we were growing up, our father believed that you had to be a doctor or lawyer; you had to go to school.”
 
He said while schooling in the United States, he went to dancing competitions and won dollars as prize money.
Adeleke said: “I still have it [dancing] in me. I do not believe that because I am a governor or when I was a senator it should stop. When we have get-togethers, everyone would be stuck up.”
He warned critics to desist from trying to control his life, adding that there is time for everything, including dancing.
He, however, clarified that dancing will not stop him from performing his duties as governor.
Fondly called ‘dancing governor’, Adeleke is the father of popular Nigerian musicians B-Red and Shina Rambo, and uncle to famous singer, Davido.

Common Sense Is Not Common – BBNaija’s Princess Slams Whitemoney Over Podcast

Ex-BBNaija housemate, Princess Francis has taken a swipe at Whitemoney for his comment about women.

Whitemoney had come under attack after he mentioned that any man can get any woman of his choice if only they have money. He claimed that women are only moved by money.

This comment he made did not sit well with some celebrities like actress Victoria Inyama and Doyin who took to their pages to drag him.

In a recent podcast, Whitemoney disclosed that most of the Big Brother Naija ladies only gave s3x and kissing content, adding that most of them beg him to hook them up with some of his wealthy friends like Obi Cubana.

According to Princess, Whitemoney talks without reasoning. She mentioned a few housemates who work tirelessly for what they have today.

Citing an example, Princess mentioned actress Bisola and Tacha as hard-working women and products of BBNaija.

She described Whitemoney as a “full-grown man who opens his mouth and spits nonsense”.
