He was arrested and detained for three days before being arraigned before an Ogun State Magistrate Court, sitting in Ifo, on a three-count charge bothering on assault and theft of musical equipment.

He was later granted N800,000 bail; however, the Magistrate ordered that Portable be remanded at the correctional centre in Ilaro pending the perfection of his bail conditions.

Following his release, the Zazu crooner dropped a new song titled ‘Federal Government Liability’. He bragged in the song that he didn’t wear a prison uniform while at the correctional centre in Ilaro.

His new song elicited mixed reactions.
