Portable was sentenced to one month’s imprisonment with an option for a N10,000 fine on count one and two months’ imprisonment with an option for a N20,000 fine on count two.
It should be noted that Portable was previously arraigned before the Magistrate Court in April 2023 on three counts related to assault and the theft of a musical instrument.
The singer was initially granted bail in the sum of N300,000 with two sureties from his immediate family.
However, he was said to have been brought before the court last Thursday after failing to appear for some time.
He was then remanded in the state Correctional Service and brought back to court on Tuesday when the judgment was delivered.
