Barely five days after controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, was remanded in prison over a nine-count criminal charge, his first wife, Omobewaji, has reportedly given birth to a baby.
The singer was arraigned on Monday, January 12, 2026, before a Federal High Court in Ogun State. However, the presiding judge declined to grant him bail, citing the absence of the police officer allegedly assaulted by Portable, who was expected to appear in court.
Following the court’s decision, Portable was ordered to be remanded in custody, while the case was adjourned to January 19, 2026, for the hearing of his bail application.
Meanwhile, Omobewaji reportedly delivered the baby while the singer remains in detention. According to sources who spoke with The Nation, the news of the birth has since been conveyed to Portable in prison.
The sources added that the singer received the news with excitement and expressed eagerness to regain his freedom in order to see his newborn child for the first time.
Portable was earlier arrested after an altercation involving one of his wives, Ashabi Simple, during which he allegedly assaulted a police officer.
