The police spokesman told NAN that the singer would remain in police custody till Monday when he would be charged to court.

NAN reports that on Tuesday, two videos of the musician assaulting some men of the Nigeria police surfaced on the internet.

Displeased by the conduct of Okikiola (Portable) toward the officers, the police gave a 72-hour ultimatum to the singer to report himself which he failed to do, resulting subsequently to his arrest on Friday.

“There is a petition against him from a Nigerian to the fact that the singer went and destroyed the person’s studio and ordered his boys to beat up the studio owner.

“He was beaten black and blue and that was the basis of the petition in the first instance.

“Based on that, an invitation letter was sent to him, not once, not twice, not three times, but he refused to honour the invitation.

“When he refused to honour the invitation, police officers were sent to effect his arrest and on getting there he assaulted the officers.

“But today, he has been arrested. He is with us. Investigation has commenced and as soon as we conclude our investigation, Okikiola will be charged to court,” he said. (NAN)
