February 19, (THEWILL) – Wanted Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has turned himself in at the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti, Yaba, Lagos.
“Portable just turned himself in at the SCID, Yaba. We have contacted the Ogun State Police Command to come to pick him up,” Spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed on Wednesday.
The Ogun State Police Command on Tuesday declared Portable wanted for allegedly assaulting officials from the State Planning and Development Permit Authority.
The singer, who said he had been hospitalised for several days due to severe body pains, claimed he was under spiritual attack and in need of divine intervention.
He pleaded with the Ogun State government to forgive him.
In a video posted on Tuesday, Portable declared that he is a “madman” receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta.
While the police dismissed claims of his comment, the Spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola Odutola, maintained that the singer 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.
