Portable freed after perfecting bail conditions

 


Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, has been freed after perfecting his bail conditions.

 

Okikiola, who is otherwise known as Portable, was on Monday arraigned before an Ogun State Magistrate’s Court sitting in Ifo, for alleged assault and theft.

 

The court had earlier granted him bail in the sum of N800,000 for the three charges with two sureties in like sum.

 

The court held that the sureties must be landowners within the jurisdiction of the court.

 

When he was unable to meet his bail conditions, Okikiola was moved to the correctional centre in Ilaro.

 

However, the Spokesman of the Nigerian Correctional Service in Ogun, Victor Oyeleke, confirmed to newsmen this evening that Portable had perfected the bail conditions and left the prison custody.

 

“He has perfected the bail conditions and he just left the custody,” Oyeleke said.

 

The case has since been adjourned to April 26 for the commencement of trial.
