Wednesday, January 14, 2026 - Controversial singer, Portable, was on Monday arraigned at the Federal High Court in Ota, Ogun State, on a nine-count criminal charge.
According to Ogun State Police spokesperson, Oluseyi
Babaseyi, the charges include ass@ult, theft, causing harm, and resisting
arrest.
His arraignment follows a viral video on Sunday showing the
singer in police custody, reportedly linked to a complaint filed by his
estranged partner, Ashabi Simple.
The prosecution alleged that Portable attacked Ashabi
alongside several police officers and other individuals at his bar in the Iyana
Ilogbo area on New Year’s Day.
Other named victims in the case are Ileyemi Damilola,
Akinyanju Oluwabusayomi, Olowu Olumide, Demilade Ogunniyi, and Ebuka Odah.
He was also accused of stealing a Mercedes-Benz E300, with
dealer number Wally Dex Auto, valued at N12 million, and belonging to Ileyemi.
In court, two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as
witnesses to the alleged assault, though she was not present.
The police further accused Portable of obstructing and
ass@ulting Ogungbe Olayemi, a female police inspector, while she was performing
her official duties.
The presiding judge denied Portable bail, citing the absence
of the allegedly assaulted police officer in court.
The judge insisted on seeing the officer before ruling on
the bail application.
Consequently, Portable was remanded in custody until a fresh
bail consideration on January 19.
