Portable’s legal battle with the Ogun State government has taken a new turn, as the controversial singer publicly expressed his desire for a renowned and fearless lawyer like Femi Falana (SAN) to represent him.
The Zazu Zehh crooner, who is no stranger to controversy, made this known after his uncompleted hotel building was sealed off by state officials due to alleged regulatory violations. Feeling unfairly targeted, Portable has been vocal about his frustrations, insisting that he needs a legal powerhouse to defend him.
Portable’s Call for Femi Falana’s Help
In a recent statement, Portable showered praises on Falana, calling him a champion of the people and praying for a helper like him. “Falana is a man of the people. He defends the poor. I need someone like him to fight for me,” the singer said.
However, fans on social media were quick to react, with many humorously reminding Portable of his history of turning against those who try to help him. Some even joked that if Falana ever agreed to represent him, he should be prepared for Portable to later call him out in one of his infamous social media rants.
Portable’s Legal Troubles
Portable has found himself in multiple legal disputes over the past year, from his altercation with police officers to various run-ins with authorities over his businesses. His latest issue with the Ogun State government revolves around the sealing of an uncompleted hotel building, with officials citing regulatory concerns.
The singer, however, insists that he is being unfairly treated, claiming that the government is trying to suppress his hustle. This has led to his public appeal for top legal representation, hoping to find someone who can stand up to the authorities on his behalf.
Will Falana Take Up Portable’s Case?
As of now, Femi Falana has not responded to Portable’s plea, and it remains unclear whether the respected human rights lawyer would consider taking on the case. Given Falana’s reputation for defending notable figures and advocating for justice, some fans believe there’s a slim chance he might step in. Others, however, think it’s unlikely, given Portable’s unpredictable behavior.
Regardless of the outcome, Portable’s latest legal drama has once again put him in the headlines, proving that controversy remains a key part of his brand.
