Singer Okikiola, aka Portable, has been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment.
Portable was sentenced by Chief Magistrate Babajide Ilo in Ogun State.
In April 2023, the singer was arraigned before the Magistrates’ Court in Ifo on a three-count charge relating to assault and the theft of musical instruments, as outlined in his charge sheet No. MIF/192C/2023.
The singer was subsequently granted bail in the sum of N300,000, with two sureties from his immediate family.
It was reported that he appeared before the court last Thursday and was later remanded for failing to attend previous hearings despite multiple adjournments.
The Police prosecutor, Inspector Olumide Awoleke, had earlier informed the court that the defendant, Habeeb Okikiola, committed the offence on 18 November 2022 at approximately 11 am in Okeosa, Ilogbo, within the Ifo Magisterial District.
Chief Magistrate Ilo, who ruled that Portable was guilty of counts 1 and 2, sentenced the defendant to one month’s imprisonment with an option of a N10,000 fine for Count 1 and two months’ imprisonment with an option of a N20,000 fine for Count 2.
