The concert management of the Taye Currency concert held yesterday in Ibadan, Oyo State, has given reasons why they didn’t allow Habib Okikiola, better known as Portable, to perform overnight.
Speaking exclusively to Tribune Online, Jarule Entertainment, the curator of the concert, said that when it became obvious that there were verified concerns about the singer’s security, owing to his recent comments about Ibadan, it was decided that he stayed off the venue altogether.
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.”
