The Nigeria Police Force have ordered a Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, to report himself over a viral video.
The singer was seen in a viral video accusing a young man of sending a message to his ‘wife’, asking her to advise him to stay away from his friends for they had no glory.
As seen in the video, he asked the young man to name his friends whom he was accusing of having no glory. The singer was also seen commanding his boys to beat the helpless guy up.
As they pounced on the young man, Portable was heard saying, “beat him to death” in Yoruba language “e luu pa”.
Reacting to the incident, the Ogun State command has asked Portable to report to the station.
Describing the act as unbecoming and barbaric, The Ogun State police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, asked the singer to surrender himself or be declared wanted.
Mr Abimbola said,
“The attention of Ogun State Police Command has been drawn to a video clip circulating on social media, where a popular hip hop musician, Habeeb Okikiola (a.k.a Portable, the Zazu crooner), was seen organizing some youths to beat up a young man and inflict bodily injury on him.
“The incident was said to have taken place somewhere within Ogun State about two days ago.
“Such unruly and violent behaviour is not only barbaric, but unbecoming of somebody who is 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.
“Jungle justice has no place in our laws and whoever embarked on it must be made to feel the weight of the law, no matter the status of such person,”.
