Portable Collapses While In Police Custody As Video Circulates Online

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, has recently attracted attention after a video emerged showing him in tears at a police station, eliciting various reactions on social media.

In the footage, the singer appears emotional, with tears on his face while in police custody. His distressing statement, “Please help me. It’s only God I have, my mother is dead,” has drawn concern from viewers.

Reports indicate that Portable’s arrest was prompted by a complaint from his ex-partner, actress Ashabi Simple, regarding an alleged assault.

The situation reportedly originated from a previous altercation between the two at the singer’s bar in Ogun State on January 1, 2026. During that incident, a video showed Ashabi clinging to Portable’s clothing, expressing her desire to be recognized as his wife rather than just his baby mama and voicing her frustration over the label.

Before being taken into custody, sources suggest that Portable had avoided authorities following the alleged assault. After the altercation at the restaurant, he was apprehended and handcuffed, leading to the viral video of his emotional reaction.

Portable, known for his street persona and public eccentricities, has seldom displayed such vulnerability, making the video a significant topic of discussion online.

As the video continues to circulate, fans and critics are engaging in conversations about the events surrounding his arrest and his emotional plea. This incident adds to Portable’s controversial public narrative, underscoring the complexities of his personal and professional life.
