 Portable Declared Wanted as Ogun Government Arraigns Nine Associates for Assault


The Ogun State Government has arraigned nine associates of controversial singer Portable for allegedly assaulting government officials, while the artist himself is reportedly on the run.


The suspects appeared before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court on Thursday, facing five charges, including armed violence, obstruction, assault, and intent to kill. They allegedly attacked officials from the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development at Portable’s Odogwu Bar in Sango-Ota.


According to Police Prosecutor Sunday Ekong, the defendants—armed with cutlasses and guns—assaulted town planners who were enforcing the sealing of Portable’s uncompleted hotel and building for lacking proper permits. The singer was accused of leading the attack but is currently at large.


The court granted the suspects N5 million bail each, requiring registered bond agents as sureties. The case was adjourned to March 17 for hearing.
