“I Am Mad Man, Undergoing Psychiatric Treatment”, Singer Portable Says, As Police Declare Him Wanted

By Akinwale Kasali

Habeeb Okikiola, popular as Portable,  controversial singer, has disclosed that he is a mad man who is currently undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun State.

Portable’s disclosure on his State of health is coming just as the Ogun State Police Command and the Ogun State Government declared him wanted.

The Zazzu Crooner was involved in fight with Officials of the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office – TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi. They were conducting an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.

The town planners claimed they encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area.

Upon identifying themselves and requesting the approved building plan, the father informed them that his son was unavailable.

However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the unarmed officials.

They were beaten to a pulp, prompting the Police to invite Portable. But

he refused to show up, and went into hiding.

His present declaration of suffering from madness, was made while appealing to Nigerians to come to his aid as he has been declared wanted by the Police.

The Police said:  “The enforcement officers sustained various bodily injuries but managed to escape and reported the incident to the Ota Area Command, which subsequently escalated the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further action.

“Nine accomplices were arrested, but Portable fled the scene and has since gone into hiding.”

However, reacting to the declaration, Portable in  multiple rants took to his Instagram on Tuesday appealing to Nigerians and the State Governor, Dapo Abiodun, alleging that he was set up because he was putting on a vest with the face of Senator Adeola Solomon popularly known as Yayi.

The singer also noted that he was a madman and has a Card at Aro hospital where he usually takes his treatment.

He said, “I fear government. I am a federal government liability. Then I’m a madman; I have medications that I usually take. You can confirm from Aro Hospital. I have a card that certifies me as one of their patients.

“I am from Abeokuta and they are taking care of me there. I am not a thief, I help people around me without even looking at their background.”
