KanyiDaily recalls that Portable landed in police custody on Friday, March 31, 2023, after his engagement with police officers at his bar, during which one of them was allegedly injured.
Portable was seen in a video resisting attempts by the police to arrest him and also referred to himself as “a federal government liability”.
The singer claimed that an internet fraudster brought the police to his bar to arrest his staff members “for no reason”, but the police noted that it acted on a petition.
Portable was arrested on Friday, March 31, following the expiration of the 72-hour ultimatum given to him to honour police invitations extended to him five times.

The court granted him bail of N300, 000 with two sureties in like sum and adjourned the case to April 26.
Shortly after being granted bail, Portable took to his Instagram page and shared photos of himself posing in front of a luxury car with dollars in his hands.
Sharing the photos, the singer thanked God for his release saying: “Alhamdulilahi”.
