Controversial Nigerian singer, Portable has been released from prison after serving a week.

The singer was released on Monday, January 19, 2026, after completing his bail conditions.

Speaking in a now trending video on social media, Portable said “they lied against me. I’m innocent.”

Portable was remanded in prison a week ago after he was accused of assault and theft by his baby mama, Ashabi Simple and her siblings.

The drama started on New Year’s eve when a video capturing Ashabi and the singer in a heated exchange surfaced online, with Ashabi holding his clothes and saying “Pami baby” (Baby you have to kill me).

Following the incident, Ashabi and her siblings arrested Portable for assault and stealing their car.

He was, however, arraigned last week Monday on a nine-count criminal charge, including theft, causing harm, assault, and resisting arrest before the Federal High Court sitting in Ota, Ogun State.

The presiding judge remanded the singer and adjourned a fresh bail hearing till Monday January 19, 2026.
