The singer was allegedly involved in a violent altercation with officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development during an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota.
According to reports, the officials—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—were first approached by an elderly man who later identified himself as Portable’s father. He informed them that his son was unavailable when they requested the approved building plan.
Shortly after, Portable reportedly arrived at the scene armed with a firearm and other weapons, leading a group of nine thugs in an attack on the officials. The officials sustained injuries but managed to escape and report the incident to the police.
The case was escalated to the State Criminal Investigation Department, leading to the arrest of nine accomplices, while Portable fled and has been in hiding.
Reacting to the situation, Portable took to Instagram, claiming he had been set up for wearing a vest with the image of Senator Adeola Solomon, also known as Yayi.

He also declared that he is mentally unstable and carries a medical card from Aro Hospital.
“I fear the government. I am a federal government liability. I am a madman; I have medications that I usually take. You can confirm from Aro Hospital—I have a card that certifies me as one of their patients,” he stated.
“I am from Abeokuta, and they are taking care of me there. I am not a thief; I help people around me without looking at their background,” he added.
