After a difficult encounter with law enforcement, controversial musician Habeeb Okikiola, famously known as Portable, has taken an unexpected turn by declaring himself a police ambassador.
Portable made the declaration via his Instagram page, where he shared snapshots of his visit to the Lagos police headquarters alongside high-ranking officers, including his father, as reported by The Punch.
The “Zazoo” crooner, recently embroiled in controversy after evading arrest over a debt issue concerning his Mercedes Benz GLE, regained his freedom the next day.
He took to social media to clarify the situation, attributing the debt to vehicle faults.
Asserting his newfound affiliation with law enforcement, Portable proudly announced his role as a police ambassador, echoing the familiar slogan, “Police is your friend.”
In his statement, he declared, “ZAzuu Federal Government liability. Ọmọ ijoba Police Ambassador. I do music for a living… Star don’t beg to shine.”
While some netizens commend his resilience and ability to turn challenges into opportunities, others hail him as an influencer adept in navigating the industry.
Amidst the praise, Portable remains focused on his craft, teasing fans with a snippet of his new track, “Spiderman,” produced by 2tuponthebeat.
The song, inspired by his recent escapade, humorously references his evasive maneuvers during the arrest attempt.
Portable’s journey, from arrest to ambassadorship, exemplifies his knack for seizing every situation to his advantage, making him a noteworthy figure in the entertainment landscape.
