As the Ogun State government closes his unfinished hotel and building in Sango-Ota due to unlawful construction, Nigerian artist Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has expressed outrage.

The Ogun State Planning and Development Authority had sealed the homes, according to the notice of violation that the “Zazu” crooner posted on Instagram.

Portable said that over 20 of his clients and employees were arrested when the houses were sealed.

Additionally, he stated that during the raid, his bar’s alcoholic beverages were seized.

He wrote: “I believe in Eledumare. Nobody can fool me, Omo Olohun. They packed everybody, took more than 20 people, both artists and customers, and they packed cars, bikes, including people’s phones and jobs. All the people that came for help, they packed them and sealed my new uncompleted building and hotel. Why? In my hometown, and we didn’t fight back, they packed all the drinks we were selling at Odowgu Bar and Food. Why? Government should please look into this.

“I am using this place to book events and shows, not only for drinks. I am promoting people and helping people here. The government should ask, I put light everywhere, and before the government came for road repairs, I called them to help us. Why will they do this at my property, which I am using to feed my family? They later came and attacked me where I was, but God is greater than them.”

The Ogun State Planning and Development Authority has yet to respond to the allegations.
