Controversial Nigerian singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has avoided a three-month jail sentence after opting to pay a court-imposed fine of ₦30,000 in an assault case.

The verdict was delivered on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 by Chief Magistrate Babajide Ilo at the Magistrate Court sitting in Ifo, Ogun State. Portable was found guilty on two counts related to a physical assault incident that occurred in 2022.

According to the Police Prosecutor, Inspector Olumide Awoleke, the incident took place on November 18, 2022, around 11:00 a.m. in the Okeosa, Ilogbo area within the Ifo Magisterial District. The singer, alongside others still at large, was accused of conspiring to assault one Osimosu Emmanuel Oluwafemi. The charge sheet also alleged that Portable and his accomplices stole studio equipment, including a Yamaha H55 monitor, interface cables, and an AKG P420 condenser microphone.

While the court dismissed the theft allegation, Portable was convicted on the counts of conspiracy to assault and unlawful assault. He was sentenced to one month in prison with an option of a ₦10,000 fine for the first count and two months in prison with a ₦20,000 fine for the second.

The artist, who was initially arraigned in April 2023 under charge number MIF/192C/2023, had been granted bail set at ₦300,000 with two sureties. However, after repeatedly failing to appear in court, he was remanded in custody last week.

At Tuesday’s hearing, Portable chose to pay the ₦30,000 fine to avoid serving the full three-month jail sentence, effectively closing the case.
