Controversial singer and Zazu crooner Habeeb Okikiola, popularly called Portable, has released a music single that chronicles his 72-hour detention and a brief stay at the Ilaro correctional centre all in Ogun State.
An Ogun State Magistrate court in Ifo, Ifo local government area, granted the famous singer bail on Monday.
The singer, who appears to thrive on controversies, was arraigned after his arrest by operatives of the state police command last Friday and brought before the court with a five-count charge of assault and stealing.

Portable’s single titled Federal Government Property (FGP) hit social media on Monday. The singer, who has always described himself as federal government property, dropped the song shortly after his release from detention.
In the song, Portable repeatedly says, “After God, the government is most powerful. If you offend me, I will report you to the police. I was taken to prison custody but not dressed as a prisoner. Please leave me alone, and I am not a prisoner.”
People in the know say the single is a leaked track of his forthcoming album.
