The concert management of the Taye Currency concert held yesterday in Ibadan, Oyo State, has opened up on why Habib Okikiola, better known as Portable was not allowed to perform at the event.
According to the concert’s curator, Jarule Entertainment, Portable was not allowed in the venue of the show for his security.
Jarule disclosed that there were verified concerns that the singer’s security was not assured, owing to his recent comments about Ibadan.
Jarule said, “We spoke to the commissioner of police about the matter and even signed an undertaking. We were provided with adequate security at the venue but we got reports that some people were still asking around for Portable’s whereabouts and lodging in Ibadan. It was then decided that he {Portable} stay off the show altogether.
“He was the only one unable to perform on the list. It is an unfortunate situation but as a professional management outfit, security comes first. This is the reason he couldn’t perform. We hope that the matter will be resolved as soon as possible.”
