Portable On The Run, Cries Out On Instagram

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has raised concerns after the Ogun State government sealed his unfinished building and hotel in Sango-Ota. The authorities claim the development is illegal.

Portable shared a notice of contravention on Instagram, showing that the Ogun State Planning and Development Authority was responsible for sealing the building.

He alleged that during the operation, about 20 people, including his customers and workers, were arrested.

The singer also claimed that officials seized alcoholic drinks from his bar during the raid.

Expressing his frustration, he wrote: “I believe in Eledumare. Nobody can fool me, Omo Olohun. They packed everybody, took more than 20 people, both artists and customers, and they packed cars, bikes, including people’s phones and jobs. All the people that came for help, they packed them and sealed my new uncompleted building and hotel. Why? In my hometown, and we didn’t fight back, they packed all the drinks we were selling at Odogwu Bar and Food. Why? Government should please look into this.”

Portable further explained that his building was used for more than a drinking joint. “I am using this place to book events and shows, not only for drinks. I am promoting people and helping people here. The government should ask, I put light everywhere, and before the government came for road repairs, I called them to help us. Why will they do this at my property, which I am using to feed my family? They later came and attacked me where I was, but God is greater than them.”

As of now, the Ogun State Planning and Development Authority has not responded to Portable’s accusations.
