Controversial musician, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has declared himself police ambassador a few days after causing a stir while evading arrest by police officers.

Portable made this known in a post on his Instagram page, where he shared photos of himself with his father and other high-ranking officers in the Lagos police headquarters on Tuesday evening.

The Zazoo crooner regained his freedom the following day after being arrested for incurring a debt on the Mercedes Benz GLE he bought from a car dealer in Lagos.

The singer further went to his social media page to explain what transpired between him and the car dealer, alleging that he had spent more than required on the vehicle because it was faulty.

Portable, his father, and other high-ranking police officers are at police headquarters in Lagos State.

Meanwhile, reaffirming his relationship with the police, he announced that he is now a police ambassador while adopting the oft-used phrase – ‘Police is your friend’.

He wrote, “ZAzuu Federal Government liability. Ọmọ ijoba Police Ambassador. I do music for a living ….Star don’t beg to shine. Akoi Grace Wey No Dey disgrace.

Recall that after spending 24 hours in custody, the “Zazuu” crooner shared a snippet of his new song – “Spiderman” in response to his arrest for defaulting on the payment plan for his car.

Produced by 2tuponthebeat, the song alludes to the singer’s flying power, referencing how he jumped over a gate to evade arrest.

The incident was captured in a video that circulated on Tuesday. The singer, dressed in a white and black stripe shirt, stood alongside eight other people and was seen climbing over a nearby gate before taking to his heels.

Kenya records first Ebola case after traveller arrives from DRC

Kenya has confirmed its first case of Ebola Bundibugyo virus disease (BVD), after a Kenyan citizen who had been living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) travelled to the country.   The World Health Organization (WHO) said the patient fell ill in the DRC and received treatment at several health facilities before travelling by road to Kampala, Uganda, through Beni on October 2. The patient then flew to Nairobi on October 3. Upon arrival in Kenya, the patient was taken to a hospital in Nairobi and isolated. Samples tested positive for Bundibugyo virus at Kenya’s National Virology Reference Laboratory and the Kenya Medical Research Institute. The patient died on October 5 despite receiving supportive care and was buried the following day under Kenya’s Ebola safe and dignified burial protocol. Kenya notified the WHO of the case on October 6, in line with the International Health Regulations. Health authorities have identified 28 contacts, including family members and healthcare workers who cared for the patient. They are also tracing 23 passengers and four crew members who travelled on the same flight, with follow-up and quarantine arrangements being made for people considered at risk. Mohamed Janabi, WHO Regional Director for Africa, said Kenya had introduced measures to contain the outbreak, including case investigation, contact tracing, surveillance and screening at high-risk points of entry. “The priority now is to move swiftly to detect any further cases before the virus has an opportunity to spread,” Janabi said. Kenya is the fourth country to confirm Bundibugyo virus disease. The DRC is currently responding to an outbreak, while Uganda ended its latest outbreak in August 2026. France also reported a travel-related case of BVD in June. The WHO said Kenya had been on high alert since May because of outbreaks in the DRC and Uganda. As of October 6, Kenya had screened more than 652,000 travellers entering the country, tested 267 suspected samples and trained about 5,000 healthcare workers on Ebola prevention and management. The WHO has also supported Kenya’s Ministry of Health and National Public Health Institute with Ebola simulation exercises, rapid response team training and assessments of isolation facilities in 27 high-risk counties. Kenya’s Ebola preparedness score rose from 66 per cent in May to 82 per cent in July 2026, according to the WHO. The UN health agency advised against imposing travel or trade restrictions on Kenya, Uganda or the DRC based on the available information.
