Ogun govt reacts to Portable’s alleged assault, brands him ‘unrepentant rascal’
The Ogun State Government has strongly condemned popular street-hop artist Habeeb Okikiola, known as Portable, for allegedly assaulting officials of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA) at his bar in Iyana Ilogbo, Ota.
Portable, who is currently on the run, is accused of obstructing and attacking three town planners—Ramon Lateef, Akinpelumi Oyero, and Abidemi Onabanjo—while they were carrying out their official duties.
Following the incident, nine of his associates—Oluwaseun Ayenuwa, Precious Ohiegebo, Oluwapelumi Adeosun, Gospel Kanu, Nurudeen Warris, Adetola Alashe, Fatimo Muhammed, Ifeoluwa Babatunde, and Samuel Adeleke—were arraigned before an Abeokuta Magistrates’ Court.
They face multiple charges, including assault, armed violence, obstruction of government officials, and conduct likely to cause public unrest. The court set their bail at N5 million each.
Reacting to the situation, Governor Dapo Abiodun, through his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, described Portable as a “serial dissident” known for repeatedly attacking government officials.
The governor reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding law and order, stressing that such behavior would not be tolerated.
“We are profoundly taken aback by the unpleasant and uncivil act of the hip-hop artiste, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, on Wednesday, in the Iyana Ilogbo area of the state where his bar is located,” the statement read.
“The way in which Portable and some miscreants he employed in the dastardly act attacked the officials of the OGPDPA is not only bizarre but a confirmation of the erosion of Omoluabi ethos in those individuals and indeed a great disgrace to the state.”
“Governor Dapo Abiodun totally condemned this primitive and indecent act and reiterated his avowed commitment to a just and egalitarian society as he is ready to make any individual flouting the extant law of the land face the full wrath of the law irrespective of social status and influence,” the statement concluded.
Authorities have urged Portable to surrender as investigations continue.
