The performance of Habeeb Olalomi popularly known as Portable at the ‘Unbarred’ concert, organised by the Nigerian Bar Association, has caused a stir on social media.
The programme was held on Thursday at the Velodrome of the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abuja.
According to the event’s poster, the host was Timi Agbaje. DJ Skillz and Veentage Band were billed to man the music policy and it promised a surprise act.
Portable, however, turned out to be guest performer during the event.
It was reported that some lawyers walked out of the event on seeing Portable, others stayed behind to watch the singer perform.
Reacting to a purported video showing the alleged walkout by lawyers, @ndm01 said on Instagram, “I was here yesterday. This wasn’t about Portable. It was a breakout session on the ‘Rule of Law and the Military’… The Army General that anchored the Session denied ‘ENDSARS’ massacre and it was at that point that Lawyers in attendance staged this walkout.”
The Unbarred Concert is a live entertainment session organised for lawyers as part of the annual NBA conference.
It is the grand conference closing party and is held a day before the association’s annual general meeting.
