Court remands Portable in prison over multiple criminal charges

Portable has been arraigned and remanded in custody at a federal high court in Ota, Ogun State, on multiple criminal charges

He appeared in court on Monday facing a nine‑count charge, which includes assault, theft, resisting arrest, and causing harm.

The charges relate to an incident on New Year’s Day at his Odogwu Bar in the Iyana Ilogbo area. Prosecutors allege that Portable attacked his estranged partner, Ashabi Simple, several police officers, and other individuals during the incident.

Authorities also claim that Portable stole a Mercedes‑Benz E300 valued at approximately N12 million, registered to Ileyemi Damilola. Two siblings of Ashabi Simple testified as witnesses, though she was not present in court.

Additionally, the singer is accused of obstructing and assaulting W/Inspector Ogungbe Olayemi while she was performing her official duties.

Portable’s bail application was denied because the police officer allegedly assaulted was not present to testify. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to return to court on January 19 for another bail hearing.
