Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has made a fresh revelation on why he resisted arrest by operatives of the Nigeria Police on Tuesday.
The Zazoo crooner was handed a 72-hour ultimatum by the Ogun State police command to report himself to the nearest police station after he was captured in a viral video resisting arrest by policemen.
Following the expiration of the ultimatum on Friday, the singer was arrested by the police and detained at the State Police headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta.
In a new video making the rounds on social media, Portable was seen trying to defend himself at the Police headquarters.
According to him, he didn’t know that the men who stormed his bar in the Sango Ota area to arrest him on Tuesday were police officers.
“I didn’t know the people that came to my bar were police officers,” he said while standing in front of a police chief.
