The controversial Nigerian singer Portable was targeted for arrest, and the Ogun state police leadership has explained why.

The Zazuu Crooner got into a fight with three police officers who barged into his restaurant in Ogun State in the wee hours of Tuesday, March 28.

The musician resisted the security guards’ attempts to arrest him and demanded to know why they were there.

He refused to leave his workplace and claimed that a Yahoo lad had invited them to pick him and some of his associates up.

Reacting, The state police spokesperson, Abimbola Oyeyemi, told BBC that Portable was asked to report himself to the police on five occasions but he refused to honour the invitation.

According to Abimbola, he was invited for questioning after a report was lodged against him.

“We have also sent an invitation to him through his father like two times, yet he did not show his face,” he said.

The police spokesperson said following his refusal to honour the invitation, the police approached a court to get an arrest warrant for Portable.

“When the officers got to the place to carry out the arrest, Portable, on sighting them, stripped himself naked so as to create a scene,”

“We are going to use minimum force to arrest him. Portable is not bigger than the law.” the police spokesperson added
