Portable Cries for Justice Amid Ogun State Government Battle

Nigerian singer Portable has cried out for justice following the arrest and arraignment of nine of his associates by the Ogun State government.

The controversy began after officers of the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development visited his Odogwu bar and restaurant to seal the property over a lack of approved permits and insufficient air space.

Portable and his associates allegedly assaulted the officials, leading to multiple arrests.

Taking to his Instagram story on February 9, 2025, Portable expressed frustration over his treatment and claimed he was not valued in Ogun State.

“ZAzuu I wanted to let you know the right place values you in the right way don’t find yourself in the place and get angry if you are not valued Am from Ogun state but no body value me or appreciate my doings those that know your value are those people who appreciate you don’t stay in place where nobody sees your value,” he wrote.

He further insisted on his innocence, saying he was being unfairly treated.

“God dey where I dey ZAzuu Am close to God Them no fit do me like FELA I swear to God I promise I no go die young I no be anini ooo make them free me he don dey look like war war way wetin youths do una.”

” I no fit suffer for watin I no do… On God my helper go locate me … Ogun ni Aiye I be real Qmọ Ogun Ogo Ogun State.”

“Justice for me ZAZUU God where are you”

Reports indicate that Portable went into hiding after the incident, while his associates faced legal action.

He alleged that the officials stormed his bar, arrested over 20 people, including artists and customers, and confiscated vehicles, gadgets, and personal belongings.

However, the singer himself has not been apprehended
