Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Olalomi Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has reportedly been arrested by the police following a complaint filed by his baby mama, Ashabi Simple.
The development comes amid an ongoing public dispute between the singer and Ashabi, with both parties previously exchanging accusations on social media.
Videos currently circulating online show Portable resisting arrest as he shouted and struggled with officers attempting to take him into custody. In the footage, the singer was seen surrounded by a crowd of onlookers, some of whom tried to calm him and advised him against resisting the police.
The incident has sparked mixed reactions from fans and social media users. While some criticised Portable’s conduct, suggesting he should have cooperated with law enforcement, others expressed concern over how the situation was handled.
Some commentators also faulted Ashabi Simple’s decision to involve the police, arguing that the matter could have been resolved amicably given that both parties share children. They noted that despite their differences, co-parenting responsibilities and financial support for their children remain important considerations.
This is not the first time Portable has been involved in a confrontation with law enforcement. A few months ago, he was declared wanted by the Ogun State Government after his aides were accused of assaulting state officials during an incident.
Following that episode, the “Zazu” crooner released multiple videos and even recorded a song appealing to the government and the President for intervention.
