The trouble started following a petition filed by a former singer signed by Portable, Manny Monie.
Monie said he was assaulted by Portable last year and all efforts to invite the singer for questioning had failed.
“I was the one that wrote the petition against Portable. It is not today we wrote the petition. We wrote it since December last year,” Monie said.
“The police have tried their possible best. They did not want his name to ‘spoil’ online so they invited him over.
“They gave him at least three months to say his own side of the story. He beat me, assaulted me, seized my property, made false allegations against me online,” Monie said.
Reacting to this, Portable accused Monie of being a fraudster, adding that as the boss, there was nothing wrong in beating his employee.
According to GISTLOVER, he said: ‘’That boy wey I beat, he’s my boy. I’m a boss to him. Oga go beat apprentice na? That one no mean say make Police come say make dem come arrest you. This boy is my boy. He’s into Yahoo Yahoo.
“I advised him to quit but he still dey do the scam dey go. Then I pursued him. I beat him. I flogged him. Now you want to arrest me because of I flogged him?
“He come to write a petition about me, about a celebrity superstar. He’s a Yahoo boy. Yahoo boy came to lay a complaint.
“He write petition about superstar celebrity. My work is legit. I do music for a living. I no fear anybody, na only God I fear,” the singer said in another viral video he posted on social media.JAMB Result
