Reports indicate that members of controversial singer Portable’s crew, who were involved in the assault of government officials, have been arraigned in court.
Earlier, Naijalog reported that Portable and his associates allegedly ganged up to attack officials who had visited his bar for an inspection.
The incident reportedly took place at Odogwu Bar in Iyana Ilogbo, Ogun State, where Portable clashed with officials from the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA).
Shedding light on the altercation, popular influencer @man_of_letters took to his X (formerly Twitter) page to reveal that the officials had initially visited a few days prior to carry out their duties.
The individuals arraigned in connection to the attack include Nurudeen Warris (21), Adetola Alashe (25), Samuel Adeleke (28), Oluwaseun Ayenuwa (19), Oluwapelumi Adeosun (20), Gospel Kanu (20), Precious Ohiegebo (19), Ifeoluwa Babatunde (27), and Fatimo Muhammed (26). They are facing five charges, including assault, obstruction, possession of dangerous weapons, and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace.
According to court proceedings, Portable and his group physically attacked planning officers Abidemi Onabanjo, Ramon Lateef, and Akinpelumi Oyero.
Reports further allege that the singer and his crew were armed with guns and cutlasses during the confrontation.
While Portable remains at large, his crew members have been granted N50 million bail by the court.
The case has been adjourned to March 17, 2025.
