Controversial musician Habeeb Okikiola, also known as Portable, has proclaimed himself insane and is receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital in Aro, Abeokuta.
Portable made the statement while appealing to Nigerians and the Ogun State Government on Tuesday after being proclaimed wanted by the state police command.
The Zazoo-Zeh singer was reportedly involved in a battle with three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development’s Ota Zonal Office: TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi. They were executing an enforcement activity in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
The town planners approached Portable’s father at Odogwu Bar to request the approved building plan. The father informed them that his son was unavailable.
However, Portable, armed with a firearm and other weapons, led a gang of nine thugs in a violent attack on the officials.
The police claimed, “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.”
Portable responded to the declaration on Instagram, claiming that he was set up because he was wearing a vest with the face of Senator Adeola Solomon, also known as Yayi.
He also stated that he is a madman and has a card at Aro Hospital where he receives 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.”
