Controversial Streets Musician, Portable In Trouble Again, Goes Into Hiding After Assaulting Govt Officials
Controversial streets musician, Portable is in trouble again.
Known for being eccentric in his approach to issues, the artiste and his agents were said to have assaulted some town planning officials of the Ogun State Government, who had gone to his area of business in Sango to inspect the permits of business owners in the area.
The incident reportedly happened in Odogwu Bar around Iyana Ilogbo owned by the musician.
It was gathered that Zonal Planning Officers of the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA) in Ibogun and Otta had begun a joint monitoring and auditing of the developments around the area a few days ago to check planning permit status and serve notices for illegal structures in the zones.
The agents were said to be working at the other side of the road to his bar when Portable made a video (still on his IG Page) talking about how he is the town planner.
“He even asked people in his bar to call him town planner, and they chorused it. He bullied the agents, said no one can plan a town he is in. He continued until the town planning guys left for their safety.
“When they got to Portable’s Bar, they met his dad, and they explained to him what they were there to do.
“They issued him the notice of illegal structure and told the dad that they have a number of days to challenge it if they have valid documents in their possession.
“The father told them Portable was not around, but he promised that when he comes back, they would show him the notice.
“As the agents were pasting the notices, Portable and his area boys arrived on Okada, and they attacked the government officials.
“The agents tried to run for safety, Portable then asked Okada riders to block them and beat them. He also personally slapped and assaulted the officers,” said a source.
According to the source, who said he witnessed the event, the agents ran into their vehicle, Portable jumped on Okada, and pursued them to block their escape route.
The officers, were said to have run to safety in a petrol station.
“People shielded them, and they called their office. The office informed the police, and the police arrived in time to rescue the agents.
“It’s crazy that it took the intervention of the police for the town planning agents to escape Portable and his area boys as they were beating and pelting the government agent with stones even as they hid in the petrol station.
“The police went back and arrested everyone suspected to be involved in assaulting the government officials, and they moved all the vehicles of the suspects and others who escaped.
“It’s easy to tell that Portable is lying because town planning officials don’t vandalize properties, and they don’t have the power to arrest people. Everyone knows that.
“If his property was vandalized by the government agents, Portable would have the video, and it would be to everyone’s advantage that he posts it or goes to the police station and lodges a formal complaint,” the source said.
Recall that Portable has a well-documented history of assaulting government agents.
In 2023, he was arrested and arraigned by the Ogun State police command in 2023 for allegedly manhandling and assaulting police officers.
“Portable himself is reportedly in hiding now. Anytime he shows his face, he will be arrested, and I hope he is prosecuted this time around,” he said.
