Nigerian artist Portable has made headlines as he seeks refuge in prayer after being declared wanted by the government in Ogun state.
The artist faces allegations of assaulting government planners who visited his place. While his associates have been detained, Portable continues to elude arrest, appealing for leniency from authorities.
A recent video features him in a church setting, dressed in white robes, engaged in prayer for divine assistance.

Many social media users have commented that this might just be a tactic; they suggest he could revert to his previous ways once he is forgiven.
Here are some reactions to his church visit:
@GBass04 said: “I don’t understand the white he is putting on. What happened to those ifa and other costumes he usually wears?”
@neefenawti added: “You go to church when you have problems, but when everything is fine, it’s Ifa you seek. You won’t escape the law this time, by God’s grace.”
@hashtagtweets remarked: “In a rational society, he should already be in jail.”
@Bartezz10 commented: “Isn’t this a bit different from the IFA he usually relies on? Portable and his antics, honestly.”
@rsalami208 pointed out: “Prayer won’t work, my brother… you need to confront the law if you’re guilty. It’s a shame Africa is like this.”
