These are not the best days for controversial artiste Habeen Okikiola, popularly known as Portable as the Ogun State Police Command has dismissed his claims, that he is ‘mad’ and admitted in the hospital.
According to the Ogun State police command, Portable claims of receiving treatment for a mental breakdown doesn’t hold water because he remains a wanted man.
Portable, in a video on Tuesday, declared that he is a “madman” and undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric, Aro, Abeokuta.
He said this while appealing to Nigerians and the Ogun State Government after being declared wanted by the state police command.
In reaction, the Ogun State Police Command dismissed claims by controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, of being in psychiatric treatment, insisting that he remains a wanted man.
According to state Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola, Portable remained wanted and should turn himself in for investigation.
“Portable will come and submit himself. He cannot be in the psychiatric hospital in Aro. Everybody knows that he is a wanted person. So, if he is going to be in anybody’s facility, the police will not accept that. He is a wanted man”, she said.
The singer was reportedly involved in a violent altercation with three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—during an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
According to the officials, they initially encountered Portable’s father at Odogwu Bar, where he informed them that his son was unavailable. Moments later, the controversial singer allegedly arrived armed with a firearm and, along with nine thugs, launched an attack on the unarmed officials.
