Popular Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable
Popular Nigerian musician Habeeb Okikiola, aka Portable, has been charged with six counts of assault-related charges by the South-Western Ogun State Monday.
The rapper was arrested after he failed to honour the police invitation more than five times.
He has however been granted bail after spending the weekend in police detention,
the "Zazoo Zeh" singer has pleaded not guilty.
BBC.com reports added that the rapper and singer resisted arrest and insulted officers who went to detain him last week.
He later handed himself over to police, in a scene which was captured in a viral video last week.
A police spokesperson told BBC Pidgin they had invited the musician to speak with them more than five times, none of which he complied with.
"It is not entirely clear what police initially wanted to interview him about, however last week, police officer Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi, tweeted that Portable faced a petition against him over the alleged assault of a man," BBC.com added.
