Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has taken to social media to shower praise on his legal team following his release from police custody.
Taking to his Instagram page, the singer, who was released from prison last night after being remanded earlier pending the perfection of his bail conditions, emphasized the importance of having capable lawyers.
Recall that Portable, who was arraigned at the Ifo magistrate court on Monday, April 3, on a three-count charge, was granted bail in the sum of N300,000 and to provide two sureties with landed properties within the court’s vicinity.
Following his release from prison, Portable, via his social media pages, expressed gratitude to his lawyers, who saw that he got out.
He advised people who are in trouble to get themselves lawyers that actually know what they’re doing.
“Try to mingle with better lawyers that know Law”, he said in part.

This comes after a popular legal practitioner, Inibehe Effiong, stated that controversial singer, Portable was the nightmare of every lawyer because he is a difficult client.
Recall that the singer resisted arrest after some men of the police command stormed his bar to arrest him for failing to honor several invitations sent to him on Tuesday.
Reacting to the standoff going on between the police and the singer, and his revelation that he purposely ignored the request to come in, the lawyer took to his Facebook page to claim that the singer is the kind of client who will act and speak in a way that is contrary to a lawyer’s plan of action.
He wrote;
“When it comes to having problematic, difficult, and deviant clients, Portable is every lawyer’s nightmare. He is the type of client that will be doing things and making comments that are counter productive to a lawyer’s strategy.”
