Just five days after controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was remanded in prison on a nine-count criminal charge, his first wife, Omobewaji, has welcomed a baby.
The singer was arraigned on Monday, January 12, 2026, before a Federal High Court in Ogun State.
However, the presiding judge declined to grant him bail, citing the absence of the police officer allegedly assaulted by the singer, who was expected to be present in court.
Following the development, Portable was ordered to be remanded in custody, while the court adjourned the matter to January 19, 2026, for consideration of his bail application.
Meanwhile, his wife, Omobewaji, reportedly delivered the baby while the singer remains in detention.
Sources told The Nation the news of the birth has been conveyed to Portable in prison.
It was gathered that the singer received the news with excitement and expressed eagerness to regain his freedom in order to see his newborn child for the first time.
Portable was earlier arrested following a clash involving one of his wives, Ashabi Simple, during which he allegedly assaulted a police officer.
