Controversial Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has sworn never to participate in violence ever again.
The “Zazu zeh” singer reportedly made a decision to change his ways after receiving ₦2 million bail on Thursday from an Ogun State Magistrate Court in Isabo, Abeokuta.
For allegedly assaulting three officials from the Ogun Planning and Development Permit Authority, or OGPDPA, TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi, who were carrying out an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State, the singer was charged by the Ogun State Police command.
He entered a not guilty plea to five counts of conspiracy, assault, possession of a cutlass, unlawful use of a firearm, and disorderly behavior, and was subsequently released on bond.
Portable pledged to stop causing trouble and concentrate on earning money in a video posted to his Instagram page following his release on bond.

“My fans, thank God for everything,” he remarked. Everything is yours if you have God. I’m in need of money. I have stopped searching for trouble. I’m currently concentrating on earning money. I owe N2 million in bail. I need extra cash. Money is what I’m after.
