Upon introducing themselves and requesting the building’s approved plan, Portable’s father informed them that his son was unavailable.
However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other dangerous weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in an attack on the unarmed officials.
The enforcement officers sustained various injuries but managed to escape and reported the assault to the Ota Area Command, which escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further action.
While nine of Portable’s accomplices were arrested, the singer fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.
