Wednesday, February 19, 2025 - Ogun State Police Command has dismissed claims made by controversial singer, Habeeb Okikiola popularly known as Portable, that he is mentally unstable and is undergoing psychiatric treatment.
Recall that the police declared him wanted on Monday, February 17 over
his alleged violent attack on some state government officials.
In a video posted on Tuesday, February 18, Portable declared that he is
a “madman” receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro,
Abeokuta.
However, the state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Omolola
Odutola, maintained that Portable must surrender himself for investigation.
“Portable will come and submit himself. He cannot be in the psychiatric
hospital in Aro. Everybody knows he is a wanted person. If he is in any
facility, the police must be informed. He is a wanted man,” Odutola said
The police declared Portable wanted after an alleged violent
confrontation with three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical
Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office. The affected officials
identified as TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero
Akinlesi were reportedly attacked during an enforcement exercise at Oke-Osa,
Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
According to the officials, they first encountered Portable’s father at
Odogwu Bar, and he claimed the singer was unavailable. Shortly after,
Portable allegedly arrived with a firearm along with nine thugs and then
attacked the unarmed officials. The officials sustained injuries but managed to
escape after which they reported the incident to the Ota Area Command. The case
was later transferred the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department
(SCID).
While nine of Portable’s associates were arrested, the singer reportedly
fled the scene and has been in hiding since.
