ALLEGED ASSAULT: Portable berates his father for failing to support him against Ogun govt, police

Nigerian streethop singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has taken to social media to call out his father for failing to support him after he was declared wanted by the police for assaulting Ogun State government officials.

The ‘Zazu’ crooner, in a video post shared online, called his dad ‘a bad father’ for failing to support him when he was declared wanted by the police and not getting involved in the matter.

Portable expressed his sentiments regarding his father’s insufficient support, noting that he had given his dad financial assistance to manage his properties and address various issues on his behalf.

‘‘Why my papa go dey run for police house wey be say na you I dey give money make you run am? All those houses belong to my BADMUS Family,” Portable lamented.

 In a related development, the Ogun State government has reportedly sealed off the singer’s unfinished hotel. This action appears to be a consequence of the singer’s alleged assault on municipal planning officials, which led to the arrest of several of his associates, while the controversial musician remains on the run.
