Controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable<\/strong>, has regained his freedom after spending about one week in police custody.<\/p>\n Abia Radio News<\/strong> reports that the singer was arraigned on January 12 before a Magistrates\u2019 Court sitting in Ota, Ogun State, over charges bordering on assault, theft, causing harm and resisting arrest.<\/p>\n Portable was also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300, reportedly valued at \u20a612 million.<\/p>\n The court, however, denied him bail after the police officer involved in the case was absent, leading to his continued detention.<\/p>\n Following his release, a video that has since gone viral showed the singer surrounded by associates who jubilantly welcomed him back.<\/p>\n In the clip, Portable jokingly announced a new nickname for himself, declaring, \u201cMy name is now Innocenty,\u201d<\/em> amid cheers from his supporters.<\/p>\n Reacting to his release, Portable\u2019s manager, Baby Luv, took to Instagram to appreciate the singer\u2019s first wife, Bewaji, for standing by him throughout the ordeal.<\/p>\n Sharing a photo of Portable with Bewaji, she wrote, \u201cAll glory to God. Grace spoke, mercy prevailed. #Freedom. She stayed when it was hardest. God honoured her faith #Thankful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n This is not the first time the singer has been in detention.
