Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has reportedly welcomed a new baby with his first wife, Omobewaji, while still being held in prison custody.

Portable was arraigned before a Federal High Court in Ogun State on Monday, January 12, 2026.

During his arraignment, the presiding judge declined to grant him bail, citing the absence of the police officer who was allegedly assaulted and expected to testify.
As a result, the court ordered that Portable be remanded in prison custody pending the next hearing scheduled for January 19, 2026, when his bail application will be considered.
This legal setback kept the singer away from home at a time when many expected him to be present for the arrival of his child.
Sources who spoke to The Nation revealed that the news of the newborn was conveyed to the singer while in detention.
Despite his circumstances, Portable was said to have reacted with excitement, expressing deep joy and relief.
According to the insider, the singer immediately became emotional and told those around him that he “can’t wait to regain freedom” so he can see his child for the very first time.
The arrest that led to Portable’s current predicament followed a clash involving one of his wives, Ashabi Simple, during which he allegedly assaulted a police officer.
