Controversial singer Portable has voiced his frustration after the Ogun State Government sealed off his unfinished building and hotel. According to a letter posted online, the government’s action was prompted by alleged illegal construction without the necessary approval permit.
Portable claimed that the raid led to the arrest of over 20 people, including artists, customers, and individuals seeking his assistance. He also accused the authorities of seizing cars, bikes, and phones during the operation.
The singer argued that the building was meant for hosting events and shows, not just for selling drinks. He emphasized that his business was also focused on promoting and supporting people in the community.
Portable expressed his disappointment, noting that he had previously contributed to his local area by providing streetlights and repairing roads. He questioned why the government would shut down his property, which he relies on to support his family.
“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.
