Instead, he has been pleading with the government for leniency.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"613\" data-end=\"737\">In a now-viral video, the singer was seen in a church, dressed in a <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/?s=white+garment\">white garment<\/a><\/strong>, fervently praying for divine intervention.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_207310\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-207310\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207310\" src=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-12-074437.png\" alt=\"Portable spotted praying in church amid legal battle with government\" width=\"600\" height=\"942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-12-074437.png 442w, https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/entertainment\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-12-074437-191x300.png 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-207310\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Portable.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"739\" data-end=\"932\">His unexpected religious turn has sparked widespread reactions on social media. While some believe he is genuinely seeking help, others dismiss his actions as another of his publicity stunts.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"934\" data-end=\"1228\">This is not the first time Portable has been involved in legal troubles. The singer, known for his erratic behavior and controversial statements, has had multiple run-ins with the authorities in the past. Despite this, he continues to maintain a strong fan base that often rallies behind him.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1230\" data-end=\"1424\">As the case unfolds, it remains unclear whether the singer will turn himself in or continue to evade arrest.
