PORTABLE IN SERIOUS TROUBLE. ON THE WANTED LIST OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT.

Portable is in serious trouble, and he knows it. Let me explain what happened yesterday at his Odogwu Bar around Iyana Ilogbo.

A few days ago, agents from the Ogun State Planning and Development Permit Authority (OGPDPA) began a joint monitoring and auditing exercise in the area to check planning permit status and serve notices for illegal structures. While working near Portable's bar, he made a video claiming to be the town planner and boasting that no one could plan a town without him.

Yesterday, when the agents arrived at Portable's Bar, they met his dad and explained their mission. They issued him a notice of illegal structure and informed the dad that they had a limited number of days to challenge it if they had valid documents.

The father told them Portable was not around, but he promised to show him the notice when he returned. As the agents were posting the notices, Portable and his area boys arrived on Okada and attacked the government officials. The agents tried to flee, but Portable instructed Okada riders to block and beat them. He also personally assaulted the officers.

The agents escaped in their vehicle, but Portable pursued them on Okada, attempting to block their escape route. The officers eventually found refuge in a petrol station, where people shielded them, and they contacted their office. The office alerted the police, who arrived just in time to rescue the agents.

It's disturbing that the police had to intervene to rescue the town planning agents from Portable and his area boys, who were beating and pelting them with stones. The police arrested everyone suspected of assaulting the government officials and impounded their vehicles.

Portable has a history of assaulting government agents. In 2023, he was arrested and arraigned by the Ogun State police command for allegedly assaulting police officers. He's reportedly in hiding now.
