The Ogun State Government has described Hiphop singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, as a primitive, serial dissident and unrepentant rascal.
The Government was reacting to the attack on government officials at the Singer’s bar, located around Iyana Ilogbo, in the Sango Ota area of the State.
The Special Adviser (Information and Strategy) to the Governor, Kayode Akinmade, in a statement on Friday, noted that Portable has been in the habit of assaulting government officials without provocation.
He said government officials who were carrying out their lawful duty were attacked by the singer and his cohorts, adding that the action would be addressed in accordance with the law.
“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,” the statement said.
