Portable Declares Himself ‘Madman Undergoing Treatment’ Amid Police Manhunt

Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has claimed that he is a “madman” undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta, amid being declared wanted by the Ogun State Police Command.

Portable made this statement on Tuesday while appealing to Nigerians and the Ogun State Government after he was accused of leading an attack on officials from the state’s Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.

The incident allegedly occurred at Odogwu Bar, Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, where officials requested the approved building plan from Portable’s father, who was present at the location.

Shortly after, Portable and a gang of nine allegedly attacked the officials, leaving them injured.

The police confirmed that while nine accomplices had been arrested, Portable fled and has since gone into hiding.

Reacting to the situation in a series of social media rants, Portable insisted he was being set up due to his political affiliations.

He further stated that he has a medical history at Aro Psychiatric Hospital.

“I fear the government. I am a federal government liability. I am a madman; I have medications I usually take. You can confirm from Aro Hospital—I have a card as one of their patients,” Portable said.

He also denied being a criminal, insisting that he has always helped people regardless of their background.

The police are continuing their search for the singer as investigations into the incident progress.
