Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable, has sought refuge in the church, turning to prayers after being declared wanted by the Ogun State government over allegations of assault on government officials.
Reports indicate that Portable was accused of physically assaulting government town planners who had visited his business premises for official duties. The incident escalated when Portable allegedly resisted their authority, leading to a warrant for his arrest.
While several of his associates have already been apprehended by the authorities, Portable himself has continued to evade arrest. Instead of surrendering, he has chosen to publicly plead for mercy, urging the government to reconsider his situation.
A recently surfaced video shows the singer dressed in an all-white robe at a church, fervently praying for divine intervention amid his ongoing legal troubles. His sudden turn to religion has sparked mixed reactions online, with many questioning his sincerity.
Some social media users believe this is merely another of his publicity stunts, arguing that once the case subsides, he will likely return to his usual controversial antics.
