Gbemisola, the elder sister of Nigerian controversial artist Portable, has claimed that her estranged brother is under the spiritual influence of one of their relatives.
Gbemisola made this accusation in response to the singer’s ongoing legal struggle with the Ogun State government.
It should be recalled that the Ogun state government on Thursday arraigned Portable, who is presently at large, for attacking the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development staff.
He was arraigned with nine of his associates before Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court by the state police command.
However, speaking from his hide-out, the singer pleaded with the government to release his associates from detention, stating that he is being “set-up by some certain individuals”.
Why challenging the officers to provide video evidence of the alleged assault, Portable further warned that he might take his own life following the overwhelming frustration caused by the situation.
Reacting to the development in a viral video circulating on X, Portable’s sister apologised for his controversial actions, alleging that a family member is spiritually influencing the singer.
“People of Nigeria, I greet you all. I’m Portable’s eldest sister, the first child of his mother. We are just three that our mother gave birth to.
“Portable has never steal before. I have never come out like this to speak, and he hasn’t even posted me despite being his sister. But he is the only one taking care of the family. If not for him, I would have died during my sickness.
“One of our family members, Akeem is the one casting spell on Portable, he is the one spiritually influencing Portable to misbehave and offend Nigerians.”
