Nigerian street-hop artist Portable has avoided jail time after being convicted of assault by a Magistrate Court in Ifo, Ogun State. The court sentenced him to three months’ imprisonment but offered an option of a N30,000 fine, which Portable promptly paid, securing his release.
The assault charge stemmed from an incident involving Portable and a fellow artist. Following the conviction, Portable’s legal team negotiated the fine, allowing him to continue his music career without serving jail time.
This development has sparked discussions on the legal system’s handling of celebrity cases and the implications for justice and accountability. Fans and critics alike are debating whether the fine serves as a sufficient deterrent for such offenses.
Portable, known for his energetic performances and controversial persona, has yet to release an official statement regarding the conviction and fine. Observers are keen to see how this incident will impact his public image and future engagements.
