Portable Flees as Police Seek His Arrest for Allegedly Assaulting Babymama, Ashabi Simple
Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, is reportedly on the run as the police seek his arrest over an alleged assault involving his babymama, Ashabi Simple.
According to reports, Ashabi Simple petitioned law enforcement authorities, accusing the singer of physically assaulting her during a domestic dispute. The complaint reportedly prompted the police to invite Portable for questioning, but he is said to have failed to honour the invitation.
Sources claim that following the petition, police officers attempted to locate the singer, only to discover that he had allegedly gone into hiding to evade arrest. As of the time of filing this report, Portable has not been formally detained or arraigned in court.
The incident has sparked widespread reactions on social media, with many Nigerians expressing concern over repeated allegations surrounding the singer’s personal life and calling for due process to take its course.
Neither Portable nor his management team has released an official statement addressing the allegations. Police authorities are yet to issue a detailed public briefing on the matter, though investigations are said to be ongoing.
The case adds to a growing list of controversies surrounding the outspoken artist, who has frequently made headlines for clashes with law enforcement, industry figures, and members of the public.
