The actions of a Nigerian singer known as Portable have drawn criticism from the Ogun State Government for his behavior towards officials of the State Planning and Development Permit Authority. Reports indicate that government officials were allegedly attacked at Portable’s bar in the Sango Ota area. A statement from the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Information and Strategy condemned Portable as a repeat offender who has a history of assaulting government officials without cause. The government described the recent attack as unacceptable and vowed to address such behavior in accordance with the law.
The government expressed concern over Portable’s disruptive actions and the chaos he incites in the community. They emphasized their commitment to upholding decency and the values of Omoluabi ethos in the state. Governor Abiodun strongly condemned the incident and affirmed his dedication to a just society where all individuals, regardless of status, are held accountable for breaking the law.
In a related development, nine individuals associated with Portable were brought before a Magistrates’ Court on charges including assault, carrying weapons, and inciting violence against government officials. The defendants pleaded not guilty to the allegations during the court proceedings.
