I’M A MAD MAN RECEIVING TREATMENT AT OGUN PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL, SAYS PORTABLE
Controversial singer Habeeb Okikiola, better known as Portable, has claimed that he is a mad man receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.
Portable made this statement while appealing to Nigerians and the Ogun State Government on Tuesday, after being declared wanted by the state police command.
The “Zazoo Zeh” crooner was reportedly involved in a confrontation with three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office: TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi, who were conducting an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
According to the town planners, they encountered an elderly man, later identified as Portable’s father, at Odogwu Bar in the area. After introducing themselves and requesting the approved building plan, the father informed them that his son was not around.
However, shortly afterward, Portable appeared, armed with a firearm and accompanied by a group of nine thugs, and launched a violent 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.”
But in response to the announcement, Portable posted a series of tirades on Instagram on Tuesday, pleading with Nigerians and state governor Dapo Abiodun, claiming that he was set up because he was wearing a vest featuring the image of Senator Adeola Solomon, also known as Yayi on it.
The singer added that he was insane and that he typically receives therapy at Aro Hospital, where he has a card.
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.”
