Delta State Governor’s aide, Ossai Ovei Success has called for the rehabilitation of fast rising singer, Portable.
Kemi Filani news recalls that Portable topped headlines again over his controversial lifestyle.
Portable got himself in trouble following a viral video which showed the Zazu crooner organising some youths to beat up a young man and inflict injury on the victim.
The Ogun State Police Command had ordered him to report himself to the nearest police station or risk arrest been forcefully arrested.
The police command, in a statement by its spokesman, DSP Abimbola Oyeyemi, described the action of Portable as unruly, violent and barbaric.
The police said the action was unbecoming of somebody who was supposed to be a role model for the youths and therefore should not be tolerated.
The statement reads in full: “The attention of Ogun State Police Command has been drawn to a video clip circulating on social media where a popular hiphop musician Habeeb Okikiola a.k.a Portable, the Zazu crooner was seen organising some youths to beat up a young man and inflict bodily injury on him. The incident was said to have taken place somewhere within Ogun State about two days ago.
“Such unruly and violent behaviour is not only barbaric, but unbecoming of somebody who supposed to be a role model for the youths and therefore should not be tolerated.
“In view of this, the Command is using this medium to advise Okikiola Habeeb a.k.a Portable to report himself at the nearest police station in Ogun State, failure of which his arrest will be ordered.
“The flagrant display of impunity by portable in the viral video is condemnable and if not checked, it will send a wrong signal to the youths who are looking up to him as a role model.
“Jungle justice has no place in our laws and whoever embarked on it must be made to feel the weight of the law, no matter the status of such person.”
Reacting to it, Ossai called for the singer to be taken to an alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre.
Despite his love for Portable, there is no denying that there are lots of misbehaviors in him that are associated with too much alcohol and drugs.
He stated that Portable needs to be taken care if before he gets himself damaged in the name of fame.
“Take Portable to alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. As a young boy, I love Zazu singer Portable zeal of defeating poverty but the truth must be told. There are a lot of misbehaviours in him that rae associated with too much alcohol and drugs. Someone close to him should as a matter of urgency take Portable to alcohol and drug rehabilitation centre. Don’t day his character is what is giving him fame because this is how some persons started having kidney problems or musical career started dying while people were busy hailing him. I need him to be more better in doing his things and that is why I am so concerned about his wellbeing. He needs urgent attention”.
