Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has revealed that he is undergoing treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta,.
This follows his recent altercation with officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
Portable made this revelation in an emotional plea to the Ogun State government and Nigerians after being declared wanted by the Ogun Police Command.
The police declared him wanted on Monday, February 17, after he allegedly failed to respond to an invitation regarding a reported confrontation with three officials—TPL Onabanjo Abidemi, TPL Raymond Lateef, and TPL Ridwan Oyero Akinlesi—during an enforcement exercise in Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota..

Addressing his predicament in a video, Portable insisted he was being unfairly targeted and claimed he had medical documentation to prove he is mentally unwell.
“Nigeria, this is when I need you people’s help. There’s no place like home, but ev!l people full home. Why only me? Why do I have issues in Nigeria? I do music for a living, I’m not a thief, I don’t k!ll people. I wait for my own blessing.
I bless people too. I don’t make trouble. People look for my trouble, I’m a superstar. God forgive me if I do any bad. After God, na government,” he lamented.
He further expressed fears of being incarcerated and reiterated his mental health struggles.
“I’m not feeling fine. And I’m afraid. I don’t want them to lock me up. I’m going through pain all over my body. I’m a Federal Government liability. I didn’t go to school, I’m a fashion designer,” he said.
Portable insisted he has been receiving treatment at Aro Hospital and urged authorities to verify his medical condition.
“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.” he concluded.
