  Portable breaks down in tears and apologizes again for slapping preacher Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, widely known as Portable, broke down in tears as he issued yet another apology following a confrontation with a preacher outside his bar. The singer's apology, which is his second in a row, comes after gospel singer Testimony Jaga gave Portable a three-day ultimatum to apologize to the pastor or face unspecified consequences. The controversial street star explained that his reaction was due to a past traumatic experience involving his sister, who was once attacked by someone posing as a pastor. He added that he would not have slapped the preacher if he knew he was a "true man of God." However, in a recent video, Portable is seen on his knees crying profusely, as he expressed remorse for his actions against the preacher. The singer was surrounded by several people at his bar who were chanting "God is King. Jesus is here."  "I want to say this to a

 Court Jails Immigration Officer in Gombe,  One other in Bauchi

 

Justices H.H Kereng and Muazu Abubakar of the Gombe State High Court, Gombe and Bauchi State High Court, Bauchi have convicted and sentenced Dabiet Onyemi Gilbert and Saleh Haruna to different jail terms for fraud. 

 

Gilbert, an  employee of the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) was 

prosecuted on a one-count charge of obtaining by false pretence to the tune of N800,000.00 (Eighth Hundred Thousand Naira) by the Gombe Zonal Command  of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, while Haruna faced a two-count charge bordering on forgery.

 

Gilbert’s charge reads: “That you Dabiet Onyemi Gilbert on or about 28th May, 2021 in Gombe, Gombe State within the jurisdiction of this Honourable court, with intent to defraud, obtained the sum of N800,000 (Eighth Hundred Thousand Naira) from Akoh Daniel Accoustic by falsely representing that the said sum was for job placement with the Nigerian Correctional Services which pretence you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 320 and punishable under Section 322 of the Penal Code Law”.

 

Count two of Saleh charge reads: “That you Mohammed Mustapha Sallah and Saleh Haruna sometimes between 2013 and 2014 at Bauchi, Bauchi State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court criminally "forged" a public government document and  thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 364 of the Penal Code  and punishable under  364 of the Penal Code Law.”

 

While Gilbert pleaded "guilty" to his one-count charge, prompting prosecution counsel, A.M Labaran to pray the court to convict and sentence him accordingly, though the defence counsel, Yusuf Ali pleaded with the court to temper justice with mercy, Haruna pleaded “guilty” only to count-two of his charges, 

prompting  prosecution counsel M.Ugbe  to pray the court to convict and sentence  him accordingly.

 

Justice Kereng afterwards  convicted and sentenced Gilbert to one year imprisonment with an option of fine of N60,000, while Justice Abubakar convicted and  sentenced Haruna  to five years imprisonment or  a fine of N200,000 (Two Hundred Thousand Naira) and adjourned till July 8, 2024 for hearing on count one of the charges.

 

Gilbert's  journey to prison began when his victim petitioned the EFCC after realizing that he had been defrauded over a non-existing Nigerian Correctional Services’ (NCS) job while all efforts to get his money back proved abortive.  Haruna, on the other hand, bagged his imprisonment  when a petitioner alleged that he conspired with one Mohammed Mustapha Sallah to defraud  him of the sum of N950,000.00 (Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) being  payment for a landed property, which he neither took possession of nor his money returned to him.

 

Meanwhile, the Gombe Zonal Command of the EFCC on June 25, 2024 arraigned 

Haruna’s alleged accomplice, Mohammed Mustapha Sallah before Justice Abubakar. He is facing prosecution on three-count charges, bordering on conspiracy, forgery and intent to defraud.

 

One of the counts reads: “That you Mohammed Mustapha Sallah sometimes between 2013 and 2014 at Bauchi, Bauchi State within the jurisdiction of this honourable court did with intent to defraud induce one Ismaila Abdullahi  to deliver to you the sum N950,000.00 (Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) only as payment for a landed property belonging to you Mohammed Mustapha Sallah which you knew to be false and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 1(1) and punishable under Section 1(3) of the Advance Fee Fraud and Other Related Offences Act 2006.”

 

He pleaded "not guilty" to all the three count charges, following which prosecution counsel, M.Ugbe asked the court for a trial date, adjournment and for the defendant to be remanded in the custody of Nigerian Correctional Service, (NCS), while the defence counsel, Mohammed Hassan 

pleaded for a short adjournment to fast-track the defendant’s release on bail.

 

Justice Abubakar remanded Sallah  in Bauchi State  Correctional Centre and adjourned the case till July 8, 2024 for  hearing of his bail application.
