Controversial Nigerian singer Portable has made headlines again, this time for seeking spiritual intervention amid his ongoing legal troubles. The singer, who has been declared wanted by the Ogun State government for allegedly assaulting government officials, was recently spotted in a church, praying fervently for mercy.
The incident stems from an altercation involving Portable and some town planners who visited his property. While his associates have been arrested, Portable has managed to evade capture and is now appealing for forgiveness. In a video that has since gone viral, the singer is seen dressed in a white robe, passionately praying in a church for divine intervention.

The singer’s actions have sparked a mix of criticism and amusement online, with many questioning his sincerity.
