Singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known by his stage name Portable, has been declared wanted after his contentious action.
The troubled artist has stated that he is a madman who is now undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.
Notably, the Zazoo crooner allegedly got into a fight with Onabanjo Abidemi, Raymond Lateef, and Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi, three representatives of the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office in Oke-Osa neighborhood of Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State where the officials were carrying out an enforcement activity.
The town planners claimed to have met Portable’s father, an elderly man at Odogwu Bar.
Although they had requested to see Portable, but he was reportedly not there when they arrived.
However, moments later, Portable, armed with a firearm and other weapons, leading a group of nine thugs in an attack on the unarmed 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.”
In response to the incident, Portable posted a series of messages on his Instagram page on Tuesday, claiming he was set up and that he was singled out for attack because he was wearing a vest featuring the face of Senator Adeola Solomon, also known as Yayi.
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.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
