OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA OTN News reports that Nigerian song singer, Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has expressed frustration after the Ogun State Government allegedly sealed his uncompleted building, hotel, arrested 20 people, and confiscated cars, bikes and phones.

OTN News further reports that Portable who decried this actions on his social medium handle, argued that he was using the building to host events and shows, not just to sell drinks.

The singer who also claimed that he was promoting and helping people through his business, expressed disappointment, stating that he had previously assisted the government by providing streetlights and road repairs in his hometown.

He questioned why the government would shut down his property, which he uses to support his family.

He wrote: “I believe in Eledumare Nobody can fall me Ọmọ Olohun. They pack everybody, they took more than 20 people both Artist and customers and they pack cars and bikes including peoples phone and job. All the people that came for help they pack them and they seal my new uncompleted building and hotel. Why? In my home town and we no follow them fight, pack all the drink that we are selling at ODOWGU bar and food. WHY? Government should please look into this.

“I am using here to book events and shows not only drink. I am promoting people and helping people here. Make Government ask I put light for everywhere and before government come for road repair na me call them to help us. Why will they do that at my property that I am using to feed my family?

Them later come attack me at where I dey but God pass them,” he wrote.

However, OTN News observed that according to the letter posted online, the government’s action was due to alleged illegal development without an approval permit.
