The Ogun State Police Command has declared controversial singer Habeeb Olalomi, popularly known as Portable, wanted for allegedly leading a violent attack on government officials during an enforcement exercise.
According to a statement issued on Monday by the command’s spokesperson, Omolola Odutola, the incident occurred on February 5, 2025, around 10:00 a.m. when three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.
During their inspection, the officials encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar, a property linked to the singer. When asked for the building’s approved plan, Portable’s father informed them that his son was unavailable.
However, moments later, Portable allegedly arrived, armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, leading a group of nine thugs in a brutal attack on the unarmed officials.
The enforcement officers sustained injuries but managed to escape and report the assault to the Ota Area Command, which then transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) for further action.
While nine of Portable’s accomplices have been arrested, the singer reportedly fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.
The police have now launched a manhunt for him, urging the public to provide any useful information on his whereabouts.
