VIDEO: Portable speaks out after alleged assault on Ogun officials

Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola Badmus, popularly known as Portable, has denied allegations that he and his associates assaulted Ogun State officials at his bar.

Reports circulating on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), claimed that Portable was involved in an attack on government officials who were on a special mission to his establishment. Following the incident, the singer was allegedly arrested, and his bar was shut down, with the Ogun State government condemning the act.

However, in a video shared online, Portable refuted the accusations, insisting that he did not engage in any fight and was being falsely accused.

“It’s a youth matter. I’m a small boy. I didn’t fight anybody,” he said. “I might be troublesome, but this time, I was asleep when they came to my house and bar, asking everyone to leave.”

The controversial singer claimed that the officials also targeted an academy he runs, where he supports young people, including musicians, tailors, carpenters, and bricklayers.

“The elders, the owners of the earth, have lied against us,” he continued. “My glory will defeat my enemies. That house is where I buried my mother when I was 13. They came and destroyed my bar, took my properties, injured my apprentices, and beat my customers before sending them home.”

Portable further challenged his accusers to provide evidence of any wrongdoing.

“My fans, I swear to God, I didn’t fight anyone. Let them show proof that I did.”
