Singer, Portable Grandstands After Resisting Arrest
Reacting to the viral video, the Ogun State Police Command confirmed that its officers attempted to arrest the singer at his bar following four invitations that were ignored. According to the officers, a petition was received against Portable.
The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the attempt at arresting Portable said that four invitations have been sent to Portable to come for questioning after a fellow singer wrote a petition to the police command claiming Portable stormed his studio, got some people to beat him up, and then locked his studio. Oyeyemi stated that Portable failed to honor the invitations and so the officers after securing a warrant of arrest from a competent court of jurisdiction, went to his bar to get him arrested. He said Portable decided to cause a scene so as to prevent the police from doing their job, Oyeyemi added that Portable’s father intervened and promised to bring the singer on or before Friday, March 31. He said the police will wait for Friday and that if Portable’s father fails to bring him to the station, they will proceed to arrest the singer. ‘’He is not above the law” Oyeyemi said.
