THE Olu of Itori, Oba Abdulfatai Akamo, on Monday, denied news making the round that he conferred a chieftaincy title of ‘King of Street’ on controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola Olalomi (popularly known as ‘’Portable’).
He explained that ‘Portable’ was named ‘King of the Streets’ by a farmers association in Ore, Ondo State sometime in 2024, saying he would never desecrate the rich culture and heritage of the Yoruba tradition.
Oba Akamo said ‘Portable’ adorned himself with the costume to the grand finale of his 21st coronation anniversary as a guest.
He, therefore, urged his colleague, the Eselu of Eselu, Oba Akinyemi Akintunde, to retract the statement as contained in the open letter.
Oba Akamo wondered why Eselu refused to cross-check the facts with him before writing such an unsolicited open letter.
