Recall that the police declared Portable wanted on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, for allegedly assaulting three officials from the Ogun Planning and Development Permit Authority, OGPDPA.

 

Hours after being declared wanted, Portable surrendered himself to the Lagos State Police Command on Wednesday and was handed over to the Ogun police.

 

Portable, who had been on the run, was presented in court on Thursday to face charges.

 

Recall that the singer reportedly launched an attack on officials of the OGPDPA for attempting to seal his bar over a lack of approved permits and insufficient air space.

 

The incident led to the arrest and arraignment of Portable’s nine associates on a five-count charge of armed violence, felony, obstruction, assault, and intent to kill.
