Kansas driver’s license law puts some transgender residents in ID limbo A new Kansas law has effectively invalidated the driver’s licenses and other government-issued documents of transgender residents, leaving many in legal and personal limbo. Senate Bill 244, which went into effect immediately after the legislature overrode Gov. Laura Kelly’s veto, requires that the gender listed on a driver’s license align with the state’s binary definition of male and female. The law also directs the state registrar to “correct” birth certificates that do not match these definitions.

 Portable denies allegations of fighting with Ogun state officials


Controversial singer Portable has denied accusations of attacking Ogun State officials who sealed his bar and uncompleted building.

In a video shared on social media, Portable claimed he was asleep when the officials arrived and did not engage in any physical altercation.

Portable alleged that the officials not only sealed his businesses but also destroyed his bar. 

He emphasised that he did not fight anyone and challenged the officials to provide proof of their allegations.

The singer also revealed that the sealed building holds sentimental value, adding that it is where he buried his mother.

Portable maintained his innocence and appealed to his fans to believe him.

He said in a video: “It’s a youth matter, I’m a small boy. I didn’t fight anybody. I might be troublesome, but this time, I was asleep when they came to my house and bar, asking everyone to leave.

“They went to an academy where I help young people—not just musicians but also tailors, carpenters, and bricklayers.

“Elders, owners of the earth, they have lied against us. My glory will defeat my enemies. That house is where I buried my mother when I was 13.

“My fans, I swear to God, I didn’t fight anyone. Let them show proof that I did.”
