The police in Ogun State have confirmed that they tried to arrest singer, Portable at his bar earlier today, March 28.
Recall that a video went viral in which Portable caused a scene when some police officers came in to arrest him.
In the viral video, the officers said they received a petition against Portable and were there to arrest him.
Portable told them he was a ‘’super star, a federal government liability and someone who works for APC,” so he could not be arrested just like that.
He claimed that the police did not invite him for questioning and cannot just come into his establishment to arrest him.
The spokesperson of the state police command, SP Abimbola Oyeyemi, has now confirmed to LIB that men of the command tried to arrest Portable.
According to Abimbola, four invitations had been sent to Portable to come for questioning after a fellow singer wrote a petition to the police command claiming Portable stormed his studio, got some people to beat him up, and then locked his studio.
Oyeyemi stated that Portable failed to honour the invitations and so the officers after securing a warrant of arrest from a competent court of jurisdiction, went to his bar to get him arrested.
He said Portable decided to cause a scene so as to prevent the police from doing their job.
He said that Portable’s father intervened and promised to bring the singer on or before Friday, March 31. He said the police would wait for Friday and that if Portable’s father failed to bring him to the station, they would proceed to arrest the singer.
‘’He is not above the law” Oyeyemi said.
