Speaking in Yoruba, Portable urged Ayanlowo to refrain from tarnishing K1’s reputation and exacerbating the situation further.
He questioned why the former drummer remained with K1 for over three decades if he believed it was not profitable after just one year.
Portable emphasized K1’s status as an icon in the music industry and suggested that the practice of confiscating passports was not uncommon among band members to prevent them from absconding during international performances.
