Ogun Govt To Portable: You Are An Unrepentant Rascal

The Ogun State Government has described singer, Habeeb Okikiola, as a “serial dissident and unrepentant rascal who has been in the habit of assaulting government officials without provocation”.

The administration of Governor Dapo Abiodun was reacting to the attack on government officials at Portable’s bar d around Iyana Ilogbo, in the Sango Ota area of the state.

A statement signed by the Special Adviser to Governor Dapo Abiodun on Information and Strategy, Kayode Akinmade, on Friday, said government officials who were carrying out their lawful duty was attacked by the singer and his cohorts. He said the action would be addressed in line with the law.

He said, “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 Iyana- Ilogbo area of the state where his bar is located.

“The way in which Portable and some set of miscreants he employed in the dastardly act attacked the officials of the OGPDPA is not only bizarre but a confirmation of 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 just and egalitarian society as he is ready to make any individual flouting the extant law of the land to face the full wrath of the law irrespective of social status and influence.”
