Actress Omobolarinde Akinyanju, popularly known as Ashabi Simple, has explained why she asked the police to arrest singer Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable.
She spoke in a video shared on social media on Monday.
Ashabi said the incident happened during the Christmas and New Year period. She alleged that Portable threatened her and her family with an axe, took their phones, punched her brother, and slapped her sister over a dispute. She also claimed he poured water on her while speaking in a language she did not understand.
Ashabi said, “Portable threatened us with an axe, slapped me, pushed my sister, and punched my brother in the face.”
She said she reported Portable to the Ogun State Police Command, which led to his arrest last week. A video of him in handcuffs at the police station circulated online, showing him shirtless and tearful. The police confirmed his arrest and said an internal investigation into the video and his detention has begun.
The dispute reportedly started on January 1, when Ashabi visited Portable’s bar in Ogun State and asked him to recognise her as his wife, a claim he rejected. Portable has not publicly addressed her account, though he has denied some allegations in previous videos.
