Many at the naming did not anticipate the marriage, but Portable beat them to it.
Also at a time police are indicting him over a =the gang-beating of a fellow, he and the wife (Feranmi) exchanged the big vow, with the artiste giving him the ring.
Meanwhile, the accident occurred in Ilogbo, Ogun State, with the victim said to be a bike rider.
‘The Punch’ quotes Portable’s manager explains the situation thus:
“I’ll be very fast with you because I’m very busy. I was the one that sent one of his boys to go and buy something for me.
“On their way going, maybe the bike man thought that Portable was the one driving or they wanted to collect money or whatever, but the man drove to the vehicle. That was how they hit the man.
“They called me. I left where I was with Portable. We went there. The guy that drove the car rushed the man to the hospital. I got to the hospital and transferred N25,000 to them.
“They said N20,000 was for treatment while N5,000 was for X-ray.
“When I left the hospital, I gave them another N8,000 to take a cab to where they were going to conduct the X-ray. Immediately I left there, I reported to the Divisional Police Officer and the Commissioner of Police.
“I called DPO Sango and DPO Ifo to explain what happened. After 10 minutes, they called me back from the hospital that the man had given up.
“When I got the call, I had to call the boy that was in the scenario to go to the station to report himself. He is at the station as I’m talking to you like this.”
