Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable has reportedly surrendered himself to the Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Yaba, Lagos.
This comes after an ongoing police investigation into allegations of violent conduct and assault on government officials in Ogun State. The surrender was confirmed by Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer Benjamin Hundeyin via text on Wednesday.
He is currently being transported to Ogun State, where he will be handed over to the authorities for further investigation.
Hundeyin stated, “Portable just turned himself in at the SCID Yaba. We have contacted Ogun State Police Command to come pick him up”.
Portable was declared wanted in connection with an alleged assault on three officials from the Ogun State Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development, Ota Zonal Office. The officials were reportedly attacked while carrying out their duties at Oke-Osa, Tigbo Ilu Ota, Ogun State.
Before turning himself in, the singer stated on social media that he was receiving treatment at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Aro, Abeokuta. In his appeal to the Ogun State Government and Nigerians, he described himself as a “madman” undergoing medical care.
