Portable arraigned in court, sent to prison over alleged assault, car theft

Controversial singer, Habeed Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was on Monday arraigned at the Federal High Court in Ota, Ogun State, on a nine-count criminal charge.
According to Ogun State Police spokesperson, Oluseyi Babaseyi, the charges include assault, theft, causing harm and resisting arrest.
The arraignment follows a viral video on Sunday showing the singer in police custody, reportedly over a complaint filed by his estranged partner, Ashabi Simple.
The prosecution alleges that Portable assaulted Ashabi, along with several police officers and other individuals, at his bar in Iyana Ilogbo on New Year’s Day.
Other alleged victims named in the case are Ileyemi Damilola, Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi, and Ebuka Odah.
Portable is also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300, valued at N12 million, belonging to Ileyemi and purchased from Wally Dex Auto.
It was gathered that two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as witnesses to the alleged assault, although Ashabi herself was absent.
The police further accused Portable of obstructing and assaulting Ogungbe Olayemi, a female police inspector, while she was performing her official duties.
The presiding judge denied Portable bail, citing the absence of the allegedly assaulted police officer in court.
The judge insisted that the officer must be present before he will consider bail.
Consequently, Portable was remanded in custody, with a fresh bail hearing scheduled for January 19, 2026.

‘There’s arrest warrant against me’ – Regina Daniels speaks on $40,000 theft allegation

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has kicked against allegations of theft against her amid the ongoing marital crisis with Senator Ned Nwoko.
During a live broadcast, the actress alleged that her estranged husband, Ned Nwoko, was responsible for the accusations.
Regina claimed that an arrest warrant had been issued against her and some members of her family over the alleged theft.
She, however, strongly denied the claims, insisting that they were false and unfounded.
According to the actress, the allegation that $40,000 was stolen from her husband’s home is illogical, as she maintained that the senator does not keep cash in his house.
She said, “It’s confirmed, it’s true, and I’ve verified that it’s Ned. There is a warrant on everyone, including myself.”
“He is claiming that we stole $40,000 from his house, yet he doesn’t even keep money at home. So how could we have stolen $40,000?”
