Irked by Portable’s unruly behaviour towards Police officers on duty, the Nigeria Police Force has stated in clear terms that it would carry out immediate investigations on what transpired between the two parties
Recall that Portable had hurled insults at three police officers who turned up at his bar to execute the arrest warrant issued against the street musician.
The Zazoo crooner had lambasted the officers for taking orders from a yahoo boy, adding that he should have been invited over for talks by Police instead of than besieged his bar to create a scene
But Nigerian Police Force, in a statement, described Portable’s action as criminal and punishable by the criminal laws of Nigeria.
“The action of the singer in the video was unruly and conduct likely to cause a breach of peace and incitement of violence against the officers who were detailed to execute a warrant of arrest on him for a series of allegations of criminal acts leveled against Mr. Portable.
“The NPF will take all necessary steps to investigate his actions and ensure that he is prosecuted for any criminal activity he may have committed depending on the severity of the offense.
“The Police will not condone any unruly act, assault, or attack on its officers who are on lawful duty. We need to respect our law enforcement agents who perpetually take the risk of maintaining law and order and fight crimes and criminality in our society,” Police said in a statement signed by CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
