The police on Monday, April 3 arraigned controversial musician Portable at the Ifo Magistrate Court in Ogun State for alleged assault and theft.
The singer, who was wearing a black shirt with the inscription ‘Bahamas’, was arraigned on a five-count charge.
Portable was arrested on Friday, March 31 following his refusal to honour invitations for questioning over the alleged assault of a man.
The arrest came after the expiration of a 72-hour ultimatum given to him by the Ogun State police to report himself to the Command.
Portable had admitted assaulting the person who brought policemen to arrest him over an issue related to internet fraud.
Explaining what transpired in a video shared on his TikTok page on Thursday, March 30, Portable maintained that the alleged fraudster he assaulted was his apprentice and that it was a personal matter that should not have involved the police.
“This boy is my boy. He’s into Yahoo (internet fraud). I advised him to quit but he still dey do the scam dey go. Then I pursued him. I beat him. I flogged him. Now you want to arrest me because I flogged him? He come to write a petition about me, about a celebrity superstar,” he said.
