Police Invite Zazu over Alleged Young Man Brutalization
The Ogun State Police Command has reacted to a video clip circulating on social media where a popular hiphop musician Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a Portable, the Zazu crooner was seen organizing some youths to beat up a young man and inflict bodily injury on him.
DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, Spokesman of Ogun Police Command in a press statement noted that the incident was said to have taken place somewhere within Ogun State about two days ago.
According to Oyeyemi, “such unruly and violent behavior is not only barbaric, but unbecoming of somebody who supposed to be a role model for the youths and therefore should not be tolerated.”
I”n view of this, the Command is using this medium to advise Okikiola Habeeb a.k.a Portable to report himself at the nearest police station in Ogun State, failure of which his arrest will be ordered.”
“The flagrant display of impunity by portable in the viral video is condemnable and if not checked, it will send a wrong signal to the youths who are looking up to him as a role model”.
The police added that jungle justice has no place in our laws and whoever embarked on it must be made to feel the weight of the law, no matter the status of such person.
