Some believe he is earnestly seeking assistance, while others think it’s merely another attempt to gain attention.
This isn’t the first time Portable has been in trouble with the law. The singer, recognized for his erratic conduct and provocative statements, has had many run-ins with authorities before. Yet, he still has a strong fan base that frequently backs him.
As the situation develops, it is still uncertain if the singer will surrender or keep avoiding arrest.
Meanwhile, the Ogun State government has stated that the law should be followed.
