Portable, the controversial singer, has been arraigned at
the magistrate court in Ifo, Ogun state.
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) earlier said Portable will
face more than six charges bordering on alleged assault in court.
“He is in court. There’s nothing to elaborate on. He is in
court presently. He has been arraigned,” Abimbola Oyeyemi, Ogun state police
spokesperson, said on Monday morning.
Portable was arrested on Friday after the expiration of the
72-hour ultimatum given to him by the police to turn himself in.
The ‘Zazoo Zeh’ crooner’s saga began last Tuesday after he
had resisted arrest by the police in Ogun state.
The singer argued that the arrest was “unwarranted,” adding
that he makes his money “legitimately.”

The 29-year-old also referred to himself as “a federal
government liability”.
Muyiwa Adejobi, the NPF’s public relations officer, said
portable will be charged with “assault” — apart from “resisting arrest and
injuring a police officer”.
I am sure u are very awake as i have addressed MCs case, but portable has more than 6 count charges to attend to, apart from resisting arrest and injuring a police man. He will be charged to court for beating up a guy in otta, who fired a petition to CP Ogun. https://t.co/E0J7ASroLj

“He will be charged to court for beating up a guy in Ota,
who filed a petition to CP Ogun,” Adejobi wrote on Twitter.
“There are many
pending cases of assaults on people and attacks, and he will be investigated
because people have complained against him.
“So, there is no sentiment in law, let him appear in court, and allow the judge to listen to the charges against him. He has no constitutional immunity anyway.”
